You can secure such a workflow too even if you cannot secure the OS itself. Maintaining old OS is not a good practice but having an old OS which “does its job” is sometimes more important than anything else including keeping your job -:). That's why we still need tools allowing us to perform P2V or V2V conversions. Oh yes, only the virtualization can do that magic and brings us the possibility to run old workflows. Not so long time ago I had someone converting an old physical NT4 system to a VM because an application running inside of the VM could not be re-developed for the modern environment. Note that while many admins have already reached the fully virtual environment, there are still some old and very old systems that need to be converted. Today's post will list three principal tools that are still updated (kind of) and developed to maintain the possibility of conversion tasks.

Since virtualization has started there were tools that were used for one or the other. VM (V2V) or Physical to Virtual (P2V) conversion isn't something new. Virtual infrastructure monitoring software review.
