Abstract
A system and method for transforming a legacy device into a virtualized environment includes gathering profiling data over time to represent legacy device activities and analyzing the profiling data for system applications and user applications using a processor to determine usage frequency and resource requirements of at least one application. Captured user action events are benchmarked to simulate a user workload for the at least one application to determine how resource utilization and execution times scale from a legacy environment to a virtualized environment. One or more scaling factors are determined to produce a plan to provision for legacy services in the virtualized environment. The legacy system is transformed into the virtualized environment in accordance with the plan.
