Mike D is first with the news: VMware Continues on the SVVP Certification Track.
Eight new ESX configurations have been approved by Microsoft for
support under the Server Virtualization Validation Program (SVVP). The
new configs allow up to 64 GB memory in any virtual machine. This is an
increase from the previous 4 GB limit, and will be useful to customers
deploying Exchange Server, SQL Server, or any memory-intensive
application. All future SVVP configs will be listed at our product’s
maximum memory limit.Under SVVP, any customer will be supported by Microsoft when running any of a long list of Microsoft products on VMware. Any version
of Windows back to Windows Server 2000 SP4 is also supported, including
all OS roles such as Active Directory, File Services, etc.
