Ideal scenarios or environments:

·  Customers who are upgrading to new servers for all the new features that it provides (faster processors or better memory scalability or better storage or NIC controllers or better remote and power management OR are transitioning from rack servers to HP BladeSystem servers) but do not want to change a thing about the OS and application

·  Server out of warranty or Lease period –  

·  For customers who find it more cost effective to purchase a new server than to extend the warranty on their existing server .

·  For customers who lease their servers and want an easy way to replace their existing server hardware with new hardware at the end of a lease period.

· Server consolidation or power and cooling issues - P2V migrations for customers migrating physical servers to VMware or Microsoft virtual platforms.

·   V2V migration support allows customers running VMware and Microsoft virtual machines to easily convert between platforms as needed.

·   V2ProLiant migrations allows customers to migrate a virtual machine back to a physical server for support or performance reasons.
