Physical Servers to Virtual

Hello all

I have been tasked with migrating 70% of our 67 physical servers to Virtual.

I have went through them, done audits on what programs it runs etc

What I was hoping to find out, Is there a software anyone knows that would be able to tell me what process/RAM/Hard Disk Space etc is being used on the physical server in a report so I could then look at that and see what I need in my virtual server.

Hope that makes sense.

Many thanks as always.

If the paid option get's the red flag you can always try this utility.

It documents the servers and can produce excel data of all servers in a scan run, very useful and FREE!
