Virtual Servers

since the industry is moving toward virtualizing the production environment I want to investigate if solarwinds does works in a virtual server infrastructure meaning using virtual servers to install the aplication ? Please let me know if you have any documentation that talks about this. thanks

Yes we do support running on virtual servers. We typically recommend to run SQL on a physical server though, however, some customer do run on virtual servers ok, they just have tuned it just right. However, I will caveat this with if you are running a larger install just ensure you have your ESX server setup correctly.
