Can I install Adobe Connect version 8 on a virtual server?

Report · Feb 06, 2012

Hi everyone. We are looking to upgrade our version of Adobe Connect and to put it on a virtual server. Our current enviornment Adobe Connect v8 on a physical server.

Is this possible?

Is it supported?

Has anyone done this and has experienced no problems?

thank you in advance everyone.

I think there are issues with recording feature on win2k8 server edition running over VM. I have used win2k3 and it has worked just fine (of course, the disclaimer being that it's a vm and hence the performance won't be equiavelent to that of the native machine)

Hey Scott,

Many customers today run Adobe Connect 8 virtually on WinSrv 2008 64-bit. First make sure you read the page link below that details our tech specifications and that your server is compliant.

Also, you will want to discuss where your DB will reside (on that same virtual or a separate one). The biggest improvement you will see is with performance. The speed of the server alone is enough to upgrade. Microsoft definitely made some improvements there...

I am assuming you know all the usual WinSrv settings such as Domain, etc...so will not discuss those here..

Regards,
