ABSTRACT:
A system and method for converting a target computing device to a virtual machine are provided. A conversion event is detected to initiate a conversion of a target computing device to a virtual machine. An assessment of the physical and software assets of a target computing device are obtained. A data image of the target computing device is deployed on an instance of a virtual machine. The virtual machine adjusted to correspond to the physical and software assets of the target computing device.
