Our customers have been running universe 10.3 on Windows 2008 R2 without any
issues.
On the virtualisation side we have had customers who moved to a virtual
environment and experienced a drop in the performance of universe database.
We ran our own test internally and could not get the same performance out of
the same machine virtualized compared to bare metal. In some processes on large
files the time to complete the process doubled.
I would suggest that you run some performance tests on your virtual environment
first to see if you are happy with the results and that your application runs
at an acceptable level.
Measure your processes in a virtual environment and then measure in a non
virtual. It is up to you and your customers to what an acceptable level of
performance is.

Hi Jerry:
We have been running internally Universe on Windows 2008R2 using the 32 bit
version for years. We have found that occasionally we have a run away uv
process that consumes the machine. We keep either a Process Explorer window
open or Window Task Manager to kill the run away processes, because you cannot
get them to start on the Windows VM side. We have not used 10.3 release in so
long we cannot say except it is better to be current. We have client that is
using Universe 11.3 on Windows 2008R2 and is not experiencing any issues.
Disk I/O is shared so their is a speed hit which we notice on large files.
We have just configured a replacement machine with a SSD on it. We think the
speed increase will more than offset the VM shared resource issues.
Good Luck,
Doug
