During conversion and transfer of data from a physical machine to a virtual hard disk, a transmuter generates a catalog of contents of the physical machine. Catalog entries are compared to a set of alterations templates which alter matching data. The altered data is then stored in the virtual hard disk. Alterations templates may include filters that exclude unwanted or duplicated catalog entries, mapping filters that transfer source catalog entries to target locations on the virtual hard disk, and add-on filters that add additional data or location references to catalog entries. The disclosed process allows modifications to be made in a systematic way during data transfer.

Application and system settings configuration filtering during physical to virtual hard disk conversion

Management of virtual machines within a private network may be provided from a server application, such as a web application, on a machine remote from a private network. The server application receives management commands and communications the management commands in a vendor independent format to a client application within the private network. The client application receives the management commands, instantiates the management commands into a vendor specific definition and redirects the management commands to the virtual machine host for appropriate execution.

Remote management of virtual machines hosted in a private network

In a virtual machine environment, virtual machines may be remotely provisioned on a virtual machine host. A server application on a machine remote from a network of the virtual machine host may receive provisioning parameters for a new virtual machine through a server application such as a web application. A client application is provided within the network of the virtual machine host which receives the provisioning parameters and triggers the provisioning of the new virtual machine on the virtual machine host.
