System Center Virtual Machine Manager
Microsoft System Center Virtual Machine Manager (SCVMM) is a comprehensive management solution for the virtualized data center. It enables increased physical server utilization, centralized management of virtual machine infrastructure, and rapid provisioning of new virtual machines by the administrator and certified end users.
What is SCVMM?
A new System Center product that assists you to manage your virtualized environment
Feature set includes centralized:

Virtual Machine Manager Features/Benefits
Speed of Provisioning (time to deploy, machine
sprawl [physical and virtual])
Operational Cost (management, power,
space, risk of new systems)
Management Capability (Separate solutions for virtual infrastructure, not integrated,
specialized staff)
Maximize ResourcesIntelligent placementFast and reliable physical-to-virtual-machine conversion (P2V)Centralized, dynamic, and event-based resource optimizationComprehensive service-level enterprise monitoring
Achieve AgilityRapid provisioning of new and virtual machinesCentralized libraryLeverage and extend existing storage infrastructure to provision quicklyAutomate test lab operations on virtual infrastructure
Leverage SkillsFamiliar interface, common foundation Monitor physical and virtual machines from one console Fully scriptable using PowerShell Leverage knowledge in Active Directory® domain services to management of virtual machines

Key Scenarios
Consolidation of Virtual InfrastructureProvisioning of New Virtual Machines
Physical to Virtual (P2V) Provisioning
P2V is a core feature of System Center Virtual Machine Manager (SC VMM), no additional costs per conversion
SCVMM P2V includes the ability to create images of physical hard disks, prepare them for use in a virtual machine, and create the final virtual machine for an end-to-end P2V solution
Support for Windows® 2000 Server, Windows Server 2003, and Windows Server 2003 R2
No additional infrastructure is required; no need for PXE or ADS as in VSMT
Simple wizard integrated in the main SC VMM user interface is used to perform the conversions
P2V process is also completely scriptable via Windows PowerShell and can be done in stages (imaging, fix-up, virtual machine creation)
