Considering a move from VMware to Hyper-V? Check out these tips for a smoother, more efficient migration process.
V2V Tips
When considering a "no downtime" migration strategy, be sure to evaluate features provided with AD Replication, Exchange DAGs and SQL Server. They have replication/availability capabilities that are integrated, making migration much simpler.
There are also commonly used V2V tools that are free, such as:
- MVMC 3.0
- Disk2VHD (really)
- Qemu-Img

- Vision DoubleTake Move
- PlateSpin Migrator
- Microsoft Azure Site Recovery Manager (ASR) – currently only for moves to Azure
