  • Convert virtual machines and disks from VMware hosts to Hyper-V hosts and Windows Azure
  • Convert physical machines and disks to Hyper-V hosts
  MVMC provides native support for Windows PowerShell, so it enables scripting and integration with data center automation workflows, such as those authored and run within Microsoft System Center Orchestrator 2012 R2. It can also be invoked through the Windows PowerShell command-line interface.
