Methods and systems for converting a related group of physical machines to virtual machines

A system comprising:

• a memory;
• and
• a processor programmed to:
• receive a request to convert a plurality of computers into virtual computers;
• generate a visual model for a proposed virtualization of the plurality of computers;
• present a sequence of virtualization operations to achieve execution of the proposed virtualization;
• provide an editable adjustability to the visual model and the sequence of virtualization operations;
• and
• receive user input based on the provided editable adjustability;
• and
• based on the user input, convert the plurality of computers into the virtual computers by executing the sequence of the virtualization operations.

A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising computer-executable instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to:

• receive a request to convert a plurality of computers into virtual computers;
• generate a visual model for a proposed virtualization of the plurality of computers;
• present a sequence of virtualization operations to achieve execution of the proposed virtualization;
• provide an editable adjustability to the visual model and the sequence of virtualization operations;
• and
• receive user input based on the provided editable adjustability;
• and
• based on the user input, convert the plurality of computers into the virtual computers by executing the sequence of the virtualization operations.
