VMware vSphere and Microsoft Hyper-V are two of the most popular virtualization platforms. Each solution uses different virtual disk file formats for virtual machines. This means you need to convert virtual disk files when moving VMs between VMware and Hyper-V. For example, you may need to migrate VMs between hypervisors for testing.
