vCenter Converter

Hello Experts

I have a technical clarifications with regards to the VMware converter standalone tool,

Customer Environment :

1. 2 Sites- Site A and Site B

2. Site A - Hyper-v 100 VMs(40TB) & Physical Servers

3. Site B - VMware ESXi 6.5 - 5 Hosts

4. Network link between site A and Site B - 300 Mbps

Requirement:

1. Migrate VMs from Hyper-v to VMware from Site A to Site B without any down time. 

Migration Approach :

1First we will sync 100 VMs between the existing and new central site on layer 3 network

2 At this point we will switch to layer 2 network

3 Once the sync is complete we will start powering ON the VM one by one. Meanwhile other non-powered ON VMs should keep syncing

Tool Expectation:

1.Tool capability should include replication/sync of 100+ VMs simultaneously with start & pause

2 Can sync source and destination servers/VMs in real time

3 Replication/sync optimized for WAN would be an add-on

4 Compression would be an add-on

5 Data integrity and minimal downtime is a priority

Please help we whether I can go with Vmware standalone converter tool , it can fulfill the requirements.

Thanks for the information. During migration if we get stuck, can we get active support from VMware??
