Limit the Amount of Resources Used by the Conversion Task
A conversion task competes for computing resources with other processes. To limit the impact of the conversion
task on other workloads, you can throttle the task. If you do not throttle conversion tasks, they are carried out
with normal priority and depending on the available computing resources during conversion.
A powered-on source machine runs its own conversion task. You can limit the impact of the conversion task
on other workloads running on the powered-on machine.
For source machines that are not powered-on, you can limit the resources used on the machine where Converter
Standalone server is installed.
Throttling controls the CPU and network resources that the conversion process uses. You cannot throttle disk
I/O from the Converter Standalone interface, but can throttle it indirectly by throttling the network bandwidth.
