    Virtualization Station on QNAP NAS can easily run virtual machines that have been converted from physical PCs or servers, allowing users to consolidate their IT infrastructure, easily back up and restore important systems, benefit from high performance & storage capacity, and save on purchasing and maintaining hardware.

    With constantly advancing technology, many businesses and organizations are facing the same problem – the generation gap of hardware and software. Previously organizations adopted conventional physical servers, and hardware expenditures rose with their growing IT needs.

    As time passes, the software on these systems becomes outdated or even unsupported by their developers (for example, Windows XP and Server 2003) and the servers themselves will be discontinued by their manufacturer or lack support for new hardware.

    The generation gap of hardware and software similar to these situations may greatly impact the operations of businesses and organizations.

    VMware® vCenter™ Converter™ simplifies P2V

    VMware, the cloud and virtualization services provider, offers professional software that helps businesses to deploy flexible and efficient virtualization applications. Its VMware® vCenter™ Converter™ can convert physical machines into virtual machines.

    Simply install it on your PC/server, and you can directly export the converted virtual machine to a Hypervisor, or import the .vmx file to a QNAP NAS for use with Virtualization Station.
