Genesys on VMWare

Question for those “in the know”…

Can anyone provide information about compatibility (or lack thereof) between Genesys components and VMWare? Someone from my Infrastructure group approached me about it, but I don’t know enough about VMWare to comment on it.

We’re currently running a 6 Win2K servers in a Nortel Environment, with a MSSQL backend. We also use VTO for treatments.

Any information you can provide would be appreciated…

I do have running a Genesys on VMWare, small one but works. All components works, for VTO i don’t think it will work as drivers for the Dialogic card are very complicated. Any special hardware is hard to make it work on VMWare. For other components while you have a very good server you may run other components fine.

Kevin,

we using VMware a lot in our labs to test different Genesys configurations, but I definitely would NOT use it in a production environment. For evaluation and testing purposes I understand that even Genesys Tech themselves rely on it.

If you are talking about virtualization across multiple hosts (like Xen), then I really do not know. But, if they want you to run Genesys on a virtual machine on a shared host, “just say no!”
