General Migration Requirements
Before deciding on the type of migration to perform, make sure that the source computer (i.e. the physical computer that you will migrate or that stores the virtual machine and Container before its migration) and the destination computer (i.e. the computer that runs Parallels Server Bare Metal and that will host the resulting virtual machine and Container) meet the requirements below.
Requirements for the Source Computer
The source computer can be a physical computer, a virtual machine, or a Container. The software requirements for source computers are given in the following table:

Requirements for the destination Server
The destination server must meet the following requirements:
- Has enough hard disk space to store the resulting virtual machine and Container.
- Has enough memory and CPU power to run the resulting virtual machine and Container.
- Has a stable network connection with the source server.
