Run DCO 7.5 and DCO 8.0 concurrently to test stability?

Asking on behalf of a customer:

Is it possible to have DCO 7.5  and DCO 8.0 concurrently running to test the stability of DCO 8.0? And be integrated to DCE 7.3.

If you have separate machines (virtual or physical), you can run several DCO instances at the same time. You cannot run several instances on the same machine.

If you are currently running DCO before version 8.0, we actually recommended that you install DCO 8.0 on a new dedicated machine to begin with: Getting from previous versions to DCO 8.0

May I add to Martin's answer that it is possible to have both the DCO 8.0 server and the DCO 7.5 server connected to the same instance of DCE 7.3. Note: Depending on the load of DCE I recommend to lower the polling intervals of the external system integration on 8.0 for device information, power information and full alarm synchronization. This will make sure that the DCE is still responsive in order to be useful in your 7.5 production environment. /Anders

Martin/Anders, Thank you for your insight and response. And yes, DCO 7.5 and DCO 8.0 will be build on separate VM's.
