Yes we also switched hardware, I am sure a lot of the improvement was the hardware and new generation of processors. I was a little hesitant about VM, but I am a believer.

Assuming the OS behaves the same on physical vs virtual -- seems it would be impossible to function better if virtual. When you switched to VM - did you switch hardware too? -John On Nov 28, 2011, at 9:02 AM, Tanner, Doug wrote: Same here, matter of fact I was on dedicated Window boxes, and our performance got even better, when we switched to VM.

We live with (for cost considerations)filter and active link issues routinely in our DEV and test environments weekly. We handle a huge volume of tickets (over 2.5 million per year) in prod, and our systems are too critical to allow the hiccups caused on VMs. If you go to Windows, spec it properly with physical servers and you won't regret it. The mid-tier can be VMs, but we don't know yet if this will be and issue with the 7.6.04 version we are building out now. ----- Original Message ----- From: Jamie Boley [mailto:jbo...@aegonusa.com] Sent: Wednesday, November 23, 2011 01:43 PM To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG <arslist@ARSLIST.ORG> Subject: Lifecycling Existing Unix ARS servers to Windows VM Our existing Unix ARS hardware is up for lifecycle this year, and we are entertaining the possibility of moving away from Unix to Windows VM, because it will reduce the overall cost for our environment. I'm looking to see if anyone has had any expierence (or whether is is possible) replacing existing ARS servers from one OS to another while keeping the same database. Basicially here would be our scenerio: We currently have 4 Solaris ARS Servers, 4 Windows VM Midtier Servers, and a dedicated Oracle Database on AIX. We are looking to swap out the 4 Solaris ARS servers and replace them with 4 Windows VMs running ARS, while keeping the same Oracle database. Thoughts...conerns?
