esxMigrator review

8.0

Editors' Rating

Excellent

Typical price:£ 568

Verdict

Easy to use and efficient with time, esxMigrator is an excellent tool that will help busy server administrators upgrading from VMware’s ESX 2.x to VI3 server virtualisation... Read Full Review.

Pros

  • Makes it extremely easy to migrate virtual machines from ESX 2.x hosts to VMware’s new Virtual Infrastructure 3 (VI3)
  • Migrates a VM without needing to switch it off first
  • Migrations can be scheduled for a particular time and set to occur with only a few minutes of downtime

Cons

  • EsxMigrator does not use VMware’s VMotion capability, so there is still some application downtime
