VMware will leverage the StorageCraft technology to speed up the time it takes to migrate to virtual systems. Since VSM is capable of performing a hot snapshot of a system, which allows an administrator to avoid the need to shut down a system when migrating to a VMware virtual machine, the migration process becomes simplified and saves time. According to Scott Barnes, CTO at StorageCraft, “We are excited to incorporate StorageCraft technology in VMware Converter.” He continued, “VMware is the virtualization leader and StorageCraft snapshot technology is a natural fit to simplify the migration process.”For more information about StorageCraft’s Volume Snapshot Manager, visit the company’s Web site.
