Great, that makes sense, Shane.
Imagine I decide to setup the medium farm in my corporate domain.
Do you know whether installing the Sharepoint in virtual servers is
supported ?
I mean, in order to have a highly available system I understand I would need
(2) Index Servers (2) Front End and (2) Search Servers. Since I don't need
lots of hardware capability, I think I could setup the solution using MS
Virtual Server and consolidate the whole thing in two physical servers with
lots of RAM.
In case you are aware of supporting issues against the Virtual Server &
Sharepoint, let me know.
