Hi Dhiman

It should be possible to run the DCO and DCE on VMware, as long as the minimum requirements are met for each software.

Only concern is that DCO and DCE will share the cores and memory of the one server you listed, so if i.e DCE are using a lot of resources to scan a lot of devices the DCO server might be affected.

Hope that helps

Dear Jesper, Thanks a lot for the prompt response. I will make sure that the Client is aware of the utilization of the CPU with regards to the three applications. As of now there will not be too much of traffic in the DC Expert as the solution is for only 50 Racks with 10 Rack PDUs and 2 UPS. Total nodes will be around 20. Thanking you once again and wishing you a great day ! Regards, Dhiman Das
