Hi Remi, Since last time (4 months back) we have received inputs from community that currently 4.3 is stable version for production hence i thought of going with CS 4.3. I am really impressed with CS 4.5.x features. Can you confirm that the CS 4.5 is production grade and stable release? Or should we go with CS 4.4.x ? both the versions have vSphere 5.5 U2 support but i am not sure on the stability.
