Using synchronization, you can achieve reducing application downtime from several hours to 1-2 hours. The synchronization feature allows you to reduce downtime of an application during P2V/V2V conversion since the end application has to be disabled only during the changes transfer. In the second step, only the changes made since the original system copy has been made. When converting a turned-on Windows system, VMware Converter copies data from the source machine to the target VM while the source machine is running and data on it are being changed.

In addition, VMware Converter and a free VMware vSphere Hypervisor (based on ESXi) can be converted into a simple system to provide disaster recovery of critical infrastructure components, periodically synchronizing changes of critical systems with their virtual counterparts. This feature allows to virtualize a physical server with a large amount of data on its physical disks in several steps with minimal downtime. Starting from VMware Converter 5.0, this system supports the feature to synchronize changes between the original system and the virtual machine-copy located on the ESXi host. VMware vCenter Converter Standalone is a great free utility to convert a physical system into a virtual one ( P2V) or one virtual system into another ( V2V).
