Hi gang.
Something I am not used to. I have been asked if my system runs on
Virtualised servers. I don't know the answer so I thought I would ask.
In fact I'm not even sure what virtualised servers are.
help !!!
the program uses DBF's, no data dictionaries and all VFP9 SP2 stuff.

A virtualized server is a server that runs on a system like VMWare, Hype-V
or Xen. These systems enable the installation on multiple computers on a
single physical machine. Such a server looks exactly like a physical server
to your application.
If your application does not access any special

Just some comments based on my experience with the cloud ..
I have become a big proponent of the Cloud, but you have to realize that the
cloud is not really virtualized servers which are located in a Colo
The cloud is in most cases a SAAS, where you pay a company for the use of

I am not my company IT, I have used Spiceworks for various tasks / project
and worked with the interface, but I am glad to check with my it guys to
see how effective the license monitoring system is working for them.
I know they use it for things like low toner on printers, and alerts when

I suppose I am not in the position to say that either to be honest. But they
asked if the system will work on virtualisation so I guess I had better get
it clarified. Just hope its not citrix.

Take a look at the the MySQL replication documentation and see if it might
do what you are looking for.
I use it to back up a local in-house database to a cloud hosted server,

I would trust Christof with the exact definition.
Our company and many of our clients are running almost everything from
'cloud' servers now. All our software is written in vfp9 sp2.
What we do is not worry about the server hardware or location. We just

You really need to [re-]design your apps as client server, and minimise
network data transfer. This can be difficult for browses and reports -
you can/should use views/SPT to minimise data download but an old style
'Monthly Report' can still end up with most of the db coming over the net.
