[ExchangeList] Re: Exchange and virtualization

You are incorrect.

 

Exchange is supported on VMware. And Exchange is supported in Hyper-V.

 

Your sources and understanding are out of date.

As per my understanding MS will not support Exchange on Vmware/ESX which
ever version J

 

But I think when MS release HYPER-V they will support Exchange on
virtualization.

Just an FYI  - Microsoft does support Exchange 2007 virtualization on all
server roles except for the Unified Communications role.

 

See the following links for exact information:

Patrick,

 

There is no direct answer with me but let me tell you my view

 

Are you going with MSCS?

 

How many users? You have? Based on this answer I can explain you.

 

If it is a small amount of users and you are not having MSCS, without
thinking any you can go-ahead and install your exchange in Vmware.

 

If you have 1000's of users and if you're planning to go with MSCS
personally I suggest you to go with Physical boxes.

 

 

Even if you have Exchange 2007 for - HUB, CAS, UM, Edge you can go with VM
servers, but for mailbox cluster nodes in Exchange 2007 also I suggest to go
with Physical servers.

 

 

 


  Thanks and Regards

Thanks. So it would be recommended to install both on physical boxes? I have
seen the document on MS not supporting VMware

Patrick,

 

There is no harm running Exchange in ESX/Vmware environment

 

Only thing since it is high I/O operations application Microsoft will not
suggest to Install SQl/Exchange in Vmware Environment.

 

Note: If you have any problem with Exchange, Microsoft PSS will not support
you J

Hi Guys,

 

We have an exchange 2003 server in a VMware environment. I am sure I have
read somewhere that it is not adviceable to run either Exchange or Sql on
VM's. Anyone got any documentaion / whitepaper to back that up, or have I
got it wrong.

 

 

 

Thanks

 

Patrick
