Hello,
I'm looking for some advice on virtualizing an SQL 2008 server that I have. This is gathering historical data from PLC devices on another VLAN and connected to my production network as well for reporting services. This is a project that I have been sitting on because it hasn't been especially urgent and there isn't anything wrong in particular with the way it is running. The only thing wrong is that its a Dell R710 and I'd like to re-purpose it and use it as another VMWare host. This machine was existing when I arrived here and other then some networking issues, it has been running without issue. Here is some information on the system:
Software:
Server 2008 R2 Standard
MS SQL Server 2008
IIS 8.0 Express
Microsoft ASP.NET Web Pages
KEPServer EX5 (To establish communication channels with the PLC devices)
Hardware it's coming from:
Dell...
