virtualization and server consolidation

[mlindal]

Our IT department is on a massive server consolidation kick.

The idea is - one mega server and have all servers running off it using virtualization.

The question is - how will this work with Filemaker server advanced and the desire to bring a Web solution to the department?

Currently we have three machines:

1. FM Server

2. Web Server with Apache and FX.php

3. A separate PDF Server that Filemaker accesses to serve PDF documents

Then on our development side we have

4. Back-up FM Server

5. Back up Web server with Apache and FX.php

Using this new virtualization and create the same three virtual computers, can this be done on one of these Mega servers.

Sorry if this is confusing, but I am just now getting up to speed on what they are proposing and would appreciate some feedback if you know of anything.

Virtual servers are not currently supported. They may work, but they aren't supported. In the future, this might change.
