Release: VMware Converter 5.0

I know that not many of the Enterprises still have a need for converting their physical machines in-place to virtuals, but the SMB customers still do.  Converter 5.0 was released yesterday (sorry, I was on a plane back from VMWorld most of the day.)  You can get right to the download here.

Here’s the What’s New Section from the release notes:

The VMware vCenter Converter Standalone 5.0 includes the following new functionality:

• Preserving the LVM configuration on the source machine during Linux conversions.
• Enhanced synchronization including options for scheduling synchronization tasks and performing multiple synchronization tasks in a conversion job.
• Optimized disk and partition alignment and cluster size change.
• Conversion data is encrypted between the source and the server.
• Restoring VCB images.
