Migration from physical to virtual environment

[Tanner.zaitt 0]

Hello, now I need to migrate from one system to another, can I do it easy with network equipment and configurations ?

 

We use Milestone Xprotect Surveillance System.

 

I think it is Xprotect version 5.

 

I am new employee and I search solution for migration without security breaches.

 

 

Milestone Xprotect system is released with Microsoft Windows Server and client operating systems and Milestone Xprotect software components and SAN.

 

My case, my situation here is :

We need to migrate from physical environment to virtual.

 

Our Milestone Xprotect infratructure now is on physical machines with Microsoft Server and client operating systems where are all Milestone Xprotect components are installed, we want to migrate to one physical machine using VMWAE ESXI to optimize our infrastructure and to win energy efficient

 

If I create new virtualized environment is it possible to stream ip cameras to two systems on the same time? To our physical and virtual Milestone Xprotect surveillance systems?

 

I want to do it for tests and securly without security breaches migration from physical to virtual environment.

 

We here use Cisco equipment.

 

And when I see new system is stable then I will switch to new system fully and I will shutdown old system whithout data losing during switching/migration process.

 

 

I will be happy to see your experience and advices with these things.

Thanks and regards.
