Hello,
Who out there is running Puremessage for Linux, in a VMware virtual machine? This should be Puremessage installed on top of Linux in a VM, not the Sophos provided virtual appliance.
I would like to hear other customers' experiences using virtual machines - the types of things I am interested in, are:
What PM roles (DB, CSM, UI, Milter, Postfix MTA) are run in the VM?
What resources (number of Virtual CPUs, backed by what physical CPUs, amount of RAM, speed of SAN storage) does the VM have?
HOw much volume does the VM process?
What experience can you share, RE: tuning the VM(s), working with Sophos technical support when a VM is involved, Etc?
We are re-organizing our implementation of Puremessage, and would like to virtualize as much as we can. We are changing enough of our PM setup (Solaris Sparc to Linux x86, moving many mailboxes to email forwards via Postfix alias maps), that the performance and load of our current hardware is not very useful in sizing our new environment.
Any conversations I can have with other PM / VMware users, will be very much appreciated.
Thanks for your time,
Ivan.
