We currently run Sage 50 US edition on a physical Windows server, with 3-5 users. I'm planning on transitioning to running Sage 50 as a Hyper-V VM.
The current physical machine is a Dell Poweredge R230
Intel Xeon E3-1240v5 3.5Ghz
16GB ram
1TB 7.2K RPM Sata 6Gbps hard drives in RAID1
The new VM would be running on a Hyper-V host comparable to the following:
Windows Server 2016 or 2019
Dell PowerEdge R330
Intel Xeon E3-1220 v5 3.0Ghz
2TB 7.2K RPM Sata 6Gbps drives in Raid1
32 GB ram
Looking at current server usage, it's at about 1% CPU and 6.2 GB RAM on average. The Actian PSQL process is only using about 1.4 GB ram.
The new VM host would have SATA hard drives and not SSDs, which is my chief concern.
What has been your experience with running Sage as a VM? Do you think I should worry about Sage performance on a VM host without SSDs?
I appreciate any advice you have.
