General Migration Requirements
Before deciding on the type of migration to perform, make sure that the source computer (i.e. the computer that you will migrate or that stores the virtual machine or Container before its migration) and the destination computer (i.e. the computer that runs Parallels Cloud Server and that will host the resulting virtual machine or Container) meet the requirements below.
