For performance I would say no, for file servers and print servers yes virtulise!

Having virtualized everything from file and print servers, IIS and Apache webservers, Microsoft and MySQL servers, Microsoft Exchange, Active Directory domain controllers, Oracle, various application servers, and 250+ virtual desktops... I can say with some authority, you don't take a (significant) performance hit when you virtualize correctly. With a desktop virtualization solution like VMWare Fusion/Workstation or Microsoft Virtual PC, you do, because you don't really have solid hardware access. With a virtualization hypervisor like VMWare ESX or Microsoft Hyper-V, the game is totally different.

Computer hardware, and especially servers, are far more powerful then what any one operating system and application combination can take advantage of. VMWare wouldn't be making money hand over fist if the only thing people were doing with it was virtualizing print servers.

In terms of being a single point of failure, you actually create a more robust infrastructure with virtualization. I used to think the same thing up until a few years ago, but look up ESX vMotion or Hyper-V Live Migration, and see what I'm talking about. It would require a NAS/SAN which isn't in the equation right now I'm sure. If you were virtualized, any hardware failure that required a system to be taken off line would be simply migrating the virtual guests to another host, all with NO network connection loss. It could also handle automatically migrating systems based on resource usage.

Congrats on the new server BTW.

Exactly, without a NAS/SAN and more servers of a similar size to migrate to should one fail, virtualisation isn't really an option.

    • Still using Classic Outlook? Microsoft highlights 15 reasons to switch to New Outlook

      We do it all the time on our IT Service desk mailbox to add a reference, in the subject line, once it's been logged and then it's filed into the appropriate sub-folder. Other companies probably do the same thing.
    • Still using Classic Outlook? Microsoft highlights 15 reasons to switch to New Outlook

      By PsYcHoKiLLa · Posted

      "No. The "New Outlook for Windows" does not support non-cloud mailboxes (such as on-premises Exchange servers). Furthermore, because the New Outlook effectively functions as a web-based client, it requires all connected accounts—even standard IMAP or POP accounts—to route and cache data through Microsoft's cloud servers. You can verify the accepted account setups using the Microsoft Supported Account Types Guide." Built to fail "New" Outlook is basically just webmail in a window wrapper and it's usefulness reflects that.
