I've been using Sage 300 with every version of VMware vSphere esxi since around esxi version 4.0 ish. It works great!

Arch,

Thanks for the reply...

What does your infrastructure consist of, servers, switches, storage arrays. 

How is the speed of Sage in the virtual environment? 

Was hoping to gain some speed since we find Sage 300 CRE to be a bit slow on even a high end server running nothing but Sage.

The Sage 300 CRE VM also serves as a file server and the speed is fine. The server is nothing fancy (I bought it used super cheap). 
1. The host in an older Dell PowerEdge R520 with dual Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2450 0 @ 2.10GHz processors. 
2. The data sits on DAS (direct attached storage) which is nothing but a pair of 2tb SSD in a RAID1 configuration.
3. The Sage 300 CRE VM has 25 GB of RAM and two virtual CPUs allocated to it. 
4. The switch is just 32 port switch with 1GB ports. 

Again...nothing complicated or high end.....I've used it this way for years.

Arch Willingham  I'm looking at doing the same thing here.  I have an R620 I have set up as a virtualization server.  

I'm currently running my sage off a standard Win10 box acting as the "server".  It's not a true server software, just Win10 Pro.  What operating system are you running inside your virtual machine?

Thank you in advance

Guy

The VM is Server 2019.
