I personally would not run Exchange for Production / DR purposes on
virtuals.Virtualisation is more suited to software sociability or machines
with lower performance requirements. If you are keen to virtualise test its
first, there are load simulator tools.

Hi,
We have an Exchange 2000 messaging environment with more than 2000
mailboxes. We have also a geocluster NAS. We are planning to upgrade this
infrastructure to Exchange 2007 as soon as the final release of this
version will be available.
My concern is about the virtualization of my Exchange servers. We would
like to put in place our geographic Disaster recovery plan and we would
like to reduce the cost of ownership of servers, by migrate most of our
servers to a geographic cluster virtual platform. We have alredy study Ms
Virtual server and VMware Esx.
Can somebody has an experiency of deployment of Exchange server on Virtual
machines? It's powerful, what about performance? How the next Exchange
2007 will support virtualzation?
Best Regards
.
