Parallels Transporter Working Principles

Parallels Transporter enables you to migrate physical and virtual computers or any of their volumes into Parallels virtual machines and Parallels virtual disks.

The Parallels Transporter package includes two applications: Parallels Transporter and Parallels Transporter Agent.

• Parallels Transporter is installed on the computer that will host the resulting virtual machine or virtual hard disk (the host computer). This application receives data from Parallels Transporter Agent and transfers it to Parallels virtual machines or virtual disks. It also converts third-party virtual machines into Parallels virtual machines.
• Parallels Transporter Agent is installed on the remote physical computer you are planning to migrate (the source computer). It collects essential system data on the source computer and transfers it to Parallels Transporter using network, or the Parallels USB cable, or an external storage device.
