The process of virtualisation is when you convert physical machines (such as servers or individual computers) into virtual machines, by transferring the physical machine’s operating system, data, applications and configurations onto a virtual environment – your VPS Blocks virtual private server.
This means you no longer need physical machines. So why would you do this? There are several reasons why. One advantage is that you don’t need the cost of physical space for your old hardware servers, or the cost of regularly upgrading the physical equipment. Virtualisation can also be a big help in the case of disaster recovery – a fire or flood is not going to affect your virtual machines, but your physical machines could be destroyed or damaged, with a drastic effect on your business. A virtual environment also guarantees you flexibility and scalability without the cost and hassle of purchasing and setting up new physical machines.
A major advantage to many of our clients is that virtualising some physical machines can artificially extend the life of the software (and in some cases, connected hardware, such as printing equipment, CNC machines etc) to complete particular tasks. This allows some organisations we work with to virtualise older software applications that will no longer run on a new computer so that they can get a much longer workable life out of their manufacturing equipment – often a decade longer. It is also popular as an easy way for Mac users to run Windows applications.
In the case of VPS Blocks, our experienced local team uses Microsoft Hyper-V as the Hypervisor (virtualisation server product) to create your virtual machines, migrate your existing OS, applications and data and get everything running smoothly for you.
We can also handle VMWare to Hyper-V Virtual Server conversions, as many clients are looking for a more cost-effective solution, and migrating from VMWare to Hyper-V is becoming a option.

Hypervisor conversions require careful planning and deep platform knowledge to avoid downtime, data loss, or performance issues. VPSBlocks specialises in converting virtual machines from VMware and other virtualisation platforms to Hyper V suited for our Australian hosted infrastructure with a strong focus on stability and continuity. Each conversion is planned around your workload, application dependencies, and operating system requirements to ensure services remain available and performance is preserved throughout the transition.
Our conversion process is designed to minimise risk and disruption while providing a clear path away from expensive and restrictive licensing models. We manage disk and filesystem conversion, driver optimisation, network reconfiguration, and comprehensive post migration validation to ensure workloads operate correctly once live. For organisations looking to exit VMware or consolidate legacy platforms, VPSBlocks provides a proven, technically sound migration path that delivers predictable performance, reduced overheads, and local expert support.
Migrating workloads between hypervisors requires precision, experience, and a clear understanding of how different virtualisation platforms handle storage, networking, and drivers. VPSBlocks specialises in hypervisor to hypervisor migrations into our enterprise Hyper V environment, helping organisations move away from costly or restrictive platforms while maintaining stability and performance. Each migration is carefully planned to align with application dependencies, operating system requirements, and business continuity expectations.
Our migration process is designed to minimise downtime and operational risk while ensuring workloads run cleanly on Hyper V once transitioned. We handle disk and virtual hardware conversion, driver alignment, network reconfiguration, and detailed post migration testing to validate application functionality and performance. For businesses seeking a controlled exit from VMware or other hypervisors, VPSBlocks provides a proven migration path into a secure, Australian hosted Hyper V platform backed by experienced engineers and local support.
Converting physical servers into virtual machines is a critical step for organisations looking to modernise infrastructure, reduce hardware dependency, and improve resilience. VPSBlocks specialises in physical to virtual machine conversions, transforming legacy and standalone servers into secure virtual machines running within our Australian hosted Hyper V environment. Each conversion is planned to preserve application functionality, data integrity, and performance while reducing the risks typically associated with hardware based systems.
Our conversion process focuses on minimising downtime and ensuring a clean transition into a virtualised platform. We manage disk capture, driver normalisation, network reconfiguration, and thorough post conversion validation to confirm system stability and application readiness. By moving physical workloads into a virtual environment, businesses gain improved scalability, simplified backups, and a clear path away from ageing hardware, all supported by experienced engineers and predictable infrastructure designed for long term reliability.
