Virtualize PRTG XL1

Modified on 2025-06-10 20:21:12 +0200

Has anyone virtualized a Windows server in VMware with PRTG XL1 with around ten thousand sensors, all distributed with remote probes? I'm looking into virtualization because of the problems that windows sometimes delivers with updates.

thanks a lot.
