Paragon Virtualization Manager 14 Pro 10.1.21.165

Paragon Virtualization Manager 14 Professional is a powerful tool for system migration. It can help you easily migrate a Windows based system to a virtual environment (P2V), regardless of how or where the system is currently being backed up.

Virtualization helps minimize under-utilization of your servers, considerably cut hardware expenses, efficiently reallocate IT personnel, and decrease energy costs by up to 80%.

More and more people today face the problem of smooth and cost saving system migration. It mostly has to do with constant hardware improvement.

Traditional approach involving complete re-installation and re-setup of the operating system and all applications requires a lot of time and labor resources, few can afford. Moreover it doesn’t guarantee all software will flawlessly work on a new hardware platform.

Paragon Virtualization ManagerFeatures:

• P2V Copy to migrate a Windows physical system to a virtual environment in the online mode.
• Connect VD to connect a virtual disk as if it’s an ordinary physical disk, thus opening up all functionality available for physical disks to virtual.
• P2V Restore to migrate a Windows physical system backed up with a Paragon disaster recovery tool to a virtual environment.
• P2V Adjust to recover the startup ability after unsuccessful virtualization with a 3rd party tool.
• Create VD to create an empty virtual disk or with specific data of one of the supported virtualization vendors.
• P2P Adjust to successfully migrate a Windows physical system to a different hardware platform (P2P).
• Partition/hard disk copy to successfully transfer all on-disk information including standard bootstrap code and other system service structures, thus maintaining the operating system’s working capability.
• Easy size setup for virtual disks with the partition auto-resize option.
• Disk file split for VMware to automatically cut the resulted virtual image to files of 2 GBs each.
• Undelete Partitions Wizard to recover an accidentally deleted partition.
• Merge Partitions Wizard to consolidate the disk space. It originally belongs to two adjacent partitions (NTFS, FAT16/FAT32), into a single, larger partition.
• Redistribute Free Space Wizard to increase free space on one partition by up-taking the on-disk unallocated space and the unused space of other partitions.
• Scripting to make the program create a script of any set of operations you need. Besides support of all operations available in the interactive mode, the unattended mode provides some additional features. Such as conditional execution, subroutines, repeatable iterations, disk/partition properties analysis, errors management, etc.
• Boot Corrector to fix most of the system boot problems that can be a result of a human factor, program error or a boot virus activity.

Paragon Virtualization Manager performs the tasks:

• Transfer your live Windows or from a Paragon’s backup to a virtual environment of Microsoft Virtual PC, VMware Workstation/Fusion, or Oracle VirtualBox 4.0 (P2V/P2V Restore).
• Transfer your Windows to a different hardware platform. When upgrading to newer or just replacing failed hardware use our unique P2P technology to guarantee startup of your system on a dissimilar hardware configuration (P2P).
• Transfer your virtual Windows back to a physical environment (V2P).
• Migrate your Windows from one virtual environment to another (V2V).
• Connect a virtual disk as if it’s an ordinary physical disk, thus opening up all functionality available for physical disks to virtual (Connect VD).
• Make OS start up after unsuccessful migration with 3rd party tools (P2V Adjust OS/P2P Adjust OS).
• And many more…

Most functionality of the Paragon Virtualization Manager 14 Professional is offered through handy intuitive wizards. That’s why not only IT pros, but also inexperienced users can find it easy and efficient.

What’s New in Virtualization Manager 14 Professional:

• Complete uEFI support.
• A 64-bit Windows OS system configured to the uEFI boot mode can be adjusted to successfully start up on another hard disk during copy accomplished directly under Windows. Previously the uEFI fixup was only available under WinPE;
• A 64-bit Windows OS system configured to the uEFI boot mode will successfully start up in a virtual environment after P2V migration.
• Copy/Restore to dissimilar sector size. Previously not allowed, now you can for instance copy or restore contents of a 512-byte hard disk to a 4k hard disk with no additional actions from your side.
• Uplifted Recovery Media Builder. Paragon’s Recovery Media Builder, a simple alternative to Boot Media Builder, can help you prepare either Linux or WinPE-based bootable environment on a USB thumb drive or in an ISO file.
• Complete support of Windows Storage Spaces.
• Separate x86 and x64 installation packages. Please note that started from HDM 15 installation packages do not include Recovery Media Builder, thus customers can build WinPE-based recovery media only through special utilities (Recovery Media Builder or Boot Media Builder) obtained from Paragon’s website.
• Windows 10 support. The product has been tested to work fine on Windows 10 RTM.
• New user-friendly interface that is fully compatible with the Windows 10 streamlined

Supported Operating Systems: Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, 8.1, 10 (32-bit, 64-bit).

Supported Hypervisors:

• Oracle VirtualBox 5
• Microsoft Virtual PC
• VMware Workstation (including 12.0)
• VMware Fusion
• Parallels Desktop (for Connect VD only)

Paragon virtualization manager linux

You’re about to migrate to a brand-new hardware platform with the latest operating system available for it. Your current system is quite obsolete, but you still need access to some of its software. You don’t want to waste time re-installing the old software to the new system, and you do know for sure that the bulk of it won’t work anyway. The best way out is to virtualize your old system.

Scenario 2: Use virtualization for backups

Your system has been corrupted as a result of a hardware failure. You realize it’s been quite obsolete and it’s next to impossible to replace the damaged hardware devices. Migration to a new hardware platform seems the best way out, if not for one thing — you still need access to your software, but you do know for sure that the bulk of it won’t work on the new platform. Luckily you’ve got a backup image of your old system made with our program — that’s just enough for its virtualization.

Scenario 3: Make a system bootable on different hardware

You had to migrate to a new hardware platform. Willing to conserve your system, you decided to virtualize it with a 3rd party tool, but unsuccessfully — you got a virtual disk as a result of the operation, but the system was failing to start up. You had nothing to do but forget about your old system. With our program you’ve now got the option to make your virtualized system bootable.

Scenario 4: Migrate from one virtual machine to another

Let’s assume you’re willing to shift to another virtualization software vendor (e.g. from Microsoft Virtual PC to VMware Workstation). The only thing that holds you back from it is a lot of virtual machines of MS Virtual PC, which are not fully compatible with VMware Workstation. Don’t worry, we can help you out.

Scenario 5: Continue using your old PC’s applications — enjoy your favorite applications in a virtual environment on your new computer

Let’s assume your desktop PC was damaged a couple of months ago. Luckily you had had its system virtualized just before the tragedy. Having a laptop at the disposal, you kept working with the desktop system in a virtual environment for a while, while scanning the market for a replace. To cut it short, you’ve got a brand-new desktop PC just delivered to your door – it’s time for a little V2P operation. Our program can help you do that.

Scenario 6: Data protection during work with a virtual machine

You’ve got a virtual machine hosting a Windows OS environment, which needs a number of re-partitioning actions on its virtual drives. You’re very much concerned about data safety and inevitable downtime during this type of operation. The best option is to connect the required virtual drive to our program in the non-destructive mode and do partitioning of any complexity as if it was an ordinary physical drive. All changes will be saved to a snapshot, thus providing complete safety for the original disk’s contents. If a success, this snapshot can later be merged with its parental disk by using standard tools of virtualization software vendor.

Scenario 7: Easily redistribute free space

The problem is that after installing a number of resource-consuming applications and system updates the system partition (NTFS formatted) of your virtual machine has started to suffer from the lack of free space, while an adjacent data partition has plenty of redundant space. With our program you can easily redistribute free space between partitions of a virtual hard drive.

Scenario 8: Work with virtual disk from one easy-to-use interface

Let’s assume you need to make your Windows 7 contained in a .vhd file start up on another computer. You’ve copied the virtual disk, added info on it to the BCD boot menu, then tried to start up the OS, but to no avail — your Windows goes BSOD with the 0x000007B error code. We can help you out with this naughty problem.

Scenario 9: Safely evaluate new software

You need to try new software but are very much concerned about its stability. Moreover you do suspect it could damage your system. The best way out is to create a virtual clone of your physical system to try and decide whether new software is safe and exactly what you need or not.

Scenario 10: Use different operating systems on one computer

You’re a big fan of different operating systems. You want to run them all on your computer, though with the option to dispose of any with the minimal efforts possible. Virtualization is what you need – you can have several completely incompatible operating systems on one PC, including Windows, Linux, Mac OS X, whatever. And when you feel like getting rid of one of your systems, you can just delete the required virtual machine like an ordinary folder.

Please make sure that you do not violate the licensing agreement of your operating system and other installed software by virtualizing your system.
