Unity Virtualization Question

Level 3

Hello,

I'm in the planning phase of upgrading Unity to 8.X and moving into a virtual environment.  The virtual environment is Cisco UCS M2 B series blades, the blades that are dedicated to Collaboration apllications have 64 gigs of memory and 2 Intel Xeon 5650 processors with six cores each.  In my reseach I came across the virtualizing Cisco Unity Design Guide, it does not show my processor being supported. 

My questions is why isn't it supported and will it ever be supported.  It seems strange to me that it would not be, unless having six cores is the problem. You could have another server using the other two cores that are left after using the Unity Virtual machine template which calls for 4 cores.  That could possible cause problems for Unity, but  unlikely if you are using CPU Affinity to dedicate cores

If anyone has any insight into if this will ever be a supported  I would appreciate it.  Link with supported processors below.

Thanks

Actually, you should go by what it says in the docwiki pages for VMWare.

The virtualization documents are ever changing, so keep browsing the docwiki
