Poll: Anyone running BES/BPS in a virtualized environment?

If so, what VM Host platform and what guest OS?

I just converted our Windows Server 2003 x86 BES over to VMWare ESX 4.0.

I just converted our Windows Server 2003 x86 BES over to VMWare ESX 4.0.

I'm rockin' BPS on VMWare and 2K3 as the guesgt with only 1 GB of RAM allocated. Currently I have but 10 users and am having no issues.

Hey, Hawk, just out of curiosity, what VMWare product and version are you on?

BTW, VMing our BES was the best thing I could have done. There has been zero impact on performance and response times, snapshots beat any backups out there, and now it is one less box we have powered on and wasting electricity. I am actually converting all 5 of our physical servers to one big one this weekend, and hopefully dropping our power bill.

I am running BES 4.16 on VMWare ESX Server 3.50, Guest OS Windows Server 2003. I have ~800 users on it, no performance or response issues either.

There are 7 other virtual machines running on this VM server.

I am running 4.1.6 on ESX 3.5 Win2K3 VM. No problems at all.

While I write this I am currently installing the following:
BPS on VMware Server, guest OS is WinXP with 512MB allocated.

(Money is a massive constraint; Host OS is SBS 2008 so I cannot install BPS)

I'm also running BES 4.16 on VMware ESX3.5, Guest OS Windows Server 2003 Enterprise w/2GB of memory reserved.
Haven't upgraded to vSphere or BES 5 yet.

On my side, we running the BES 5.0 on Win2003 with 2GB of ram.
The virtual server is on Hyper-V from Microsoft and run well.

Hyper-V is not support by RIM, but we use this platform since last year, and no problem.

I am running BPS on a Win 2003 server as a Hyper-V guest. Never knew Hyper-V was unsupported by RIM. Good thing mine has been so stable.
