Virtual machines
Quest Software, Inc. formally tests Evolve Suite in Microsoft Hyper-V environments. If you experience problems running Evolve Suite in any other virtual environment, and these problems cannot be reproduced outside the virtual environment, Erwin Inc. requires that you seek support from your virtualization vendor. Virtual environments must be configured as per the System Requirements for the equivalent real machine.
Quest Software, Inc. does not support the investigation of performance issues for virtual environments that have not been configured in line with the System Requirements.
Apart from performance problems caused by inadequate virtual machine resources, Erwin Inc. is not currently aware of any problems running Evolve Suite on Citrix and VMware.
