Good Afternoon,
I wonder if the program can be installed in a virtualized environment, VMware Infrastructure 3 currently own and I will upgrade to 5 and also use VMware servers with VMware ESXi environment, your program runs smoothly in these environments?
We appreciate your prompt response,
goodbye,

Hi,
PRTG will run in a virtualized environment but depending on the used sensor types (e.g. WMI -> bad; SNMP -> good) the performance might decrease with a higher number of sensors. We recommend using the Site Planner Tool to determine whether your installation can be virtualized.
Best regards
