Zinstall WinServ migrates Server applications, settings, profiles, shares and data – to a new OS (such as migration from 2012 to 2022).
Unlike app virtualization solutions such as VirtaMove / AppZero, it performs a truly native server migration: old OS is not cloned, apps are not virtualized. The entire environment is actually migrated into the new OS on the target server.
You don’t need to slave away on containerizing each and every application separately, don’t have suffer from app virtualization limitations, and don’t have to rely on a 3rd party vendor code running on your new server. You simply get a new server that has the applications, settings and content of the source, just like a manual install (only without spending days of work, and without human error).
WinServ is platform-agnostic, too: you can migrate physical 2012 servers to physical 2022s, on-prem 2016 VMs to Azure 2022s, Azure to AWS and any other combination. It is used by Fortune500 companies, multinational service providers, MSPs and IT teams, to perform server migrations efficiently, automatically and completely.
Don’t take our word for it – you can evaluate WinServ on your own servers, no strings attached. Fill in your contact details, and we’ll email you a fully functional copy of the product.

WinServ can transfer from any Windows Server OS version to any other, between on-prem / physical / virtual / Cloud, from one Cloud provider to another (AWS, Azure, private Cloud) and so on.
For example, you can migrate a physical 2012 server to a virtual 2019, migrate an on-prem application server from 2016 to 2022, consolidate a datacenter with multiple different OS versions to a standard OS platform, upgrade an Azure 2012 server to 2022 "in-place", and any other combination.
Zinstall WinServ is usable out of the box, and allows to start a migration immediately. There are no capture and contanerization runs, no need for server-side installs, no special infrastructure, learning runs, script builds etc.
It migrates entire application servers, including applications (even in-house and custom stuff that nobody outside your company has ever seen), DBs, profiles, shares, permissions and of course all data, automatically.
It is customizable, automatable and allows command line execution, for easy integration with existing centralized management tools.
WinServ is not a clone tool. It does not transfer the old OS, and doesn't overwrite anything that is already on the new server. Migrated applications become natively installed on the new server, same way as what you’d get when doing a manual migration (with their settings, data and connections in place, of course). They are native (unlike VirtaMove / AppZero), and are not limited by virtualization or containerization.
Since migration is native, applications are able to interface and integrate normally, both internally and externally.
(Native migration has some drawbacks as well, of course: it does not transfer drivers, server roles such as DC / IIS / DNS, and cannot turn incompatible applications into compatible ones (although this is a concern mainly with older 2003 / 2008 migrations)

Can I migrate 2012 servers to 2019 or 2012?
Yes, 2012 to 2019 or 2022 migration is fully supported. With 2012 End Of Support, this is one of the more common migrations done these days.
Can I use WinServ to in-place upgrade an Azure server from 2012 to 2022?
Yes. While Azure does not allow in-place OS upgrades, with WinServ it’s simple: just migrate to a fresh 2022 Azure server VM (“inside” Azure) and disable the original when done.
Can I run a few POC migrations before I commit to the whole project?
Yes, we do offer evaluation licenses for corporate customers. Contact us to request yours.
How is it priced?
WinServ is licensed per migrated server (each license is valid for 1 source and 1 target, and you can re-run on those, of course). We do provide discounts on multi-license purchases. Contact us for a specific quote.
Can I migrate a 2008 to Azure / AWS?
Yes. While you can’t run 2003 / 2008 on Azure or AWS, you can certainly use WinServ to migrate applications and files from those old on-prem servers, to new 2016 / 2019 instances on the Cloud (or on-premise).
Is the source server affected?
No, the source server is not changed by the migration, and nothing is removed from it.
Can I migrate custom applications?
Yes. WinServ is appliation-generic; it will migrate applications that nobody has ever seen before, custom stuff that isn’t even installed properly and so on. You can very much migrate those servers that no one in the company even knows how to re-build.
Can I migrate physical servers?
Yes. WinServ runs as an application on Windows. It migrates from and to physical servers, not just VMs / Cloud-side. In fact, it doesn’t “care” what the underlying hardware is, since the OS itself, and its hardware-specific layer, is not part of the migration.
We don't hide behind chat bots and never-ending menus; you get a human response, and human care. Our server migration experts will be glad to assist with every stage of the project, from planning to evaluation to execution, via email, live chat, phone or even remote assistance. We really do want to make your life easier.
