Hi,

Is MSMQ supported for use on virtual machines?

Also, what kind of performance hit will there be, if any?


Thanks,

Hi

MSMQ is a component of the Operating System so as long as the OS support
being virtualised on the host software you have chosen (Virtual Server,
HyperV, VMWARE, etc) then you should be OK.
Have a look at the Server Virtualization Validation Program
(http://www.windowsservercatalog.com/svvp.aspx).

As to performance, the product group has not published any data on this. I
would hope we see a whitepaper on this subject at some point.

Cheers

Hi Gordon,

I've used MSMQ to send/receive messages to/from apps running in VMware XP
instances, no problems with that. And since MSMQ is not intended for "rocket
fast" real time data exchange by design, the (additional) performance hit
should be negligible.

Cheers,
Hans
