Virtual Environment Recommendations
While physical machines are always preferred, we fully support the use of virtual machines. This section contains special considerations when leveraging virtualization.
- VMWare® ESX® – If using ESX, the following specifications are recommended:
- ESX 4.0 / ESXi™ 4.1 or higher
- Virtual Hardware 7 or higher
- All Virtual Machines installed on the same datacenter / rack
- Virtual Storage Consideration
- In the server requirements, when separate disks are required for the servers, that should translate to separate data stores on the VM host machine.
