Glad to be of assistance. I will add that, once properly configured, VM performance was very good. It was at least as good as the former dedicated hardware we were using. We aways had very high end enterprise grade hardware. All very expensive stuff ($100K for a SAN etc). VM is not a great way

Hi Tom Many thanks for your useful observations. I’m not quite sure of the priorities given to 4D in the VM but the support guy said he needed some kind of IP packet specification details which 4D used to give it “full priority”. I think that was so that other bandwidth demands (such as large
