One of our clients has their BES running on an ancient 2000 server with over 100 devices. I was thinking that instead of doing a knife edge cutover, I could just virtualize the server. None of our clients currently run any corp network stuff in VM, so this would be new. Easier than knife edge cutover? Is the downtime minimal? Setup easy? Bill Christopher J.

VM is great.

No problems. I think it had 512mb and a 30GB drive and maybe 1ghz? I now have about 100 users on BES in a VM. The VM server has 8 other VMs on it. I have it configured with 2GB RAM and a 100GB volume. Just follow their minimum requirements for your application. Bob Fronk [EMAIL PROTECTED] From: Christopher J.

Does BES need real beefy specs to run? In or out of a VM? Christopher J.
