Can I run Verde on ESX

Can I run Verde on ESX?

Product Line:  VERDE


VERDE uses the KVM hypervisor, which requires full access to the virtualization Technology (VT) feature of the server to run virtual desktops. VERDE cannot run on ESX.

Notes:

1. You can run a VERDE Sever in Cluster Master and Gateway mode on virtualized hardware as a supported configuration. In those modes VERDE does not run virtual desktops.

2. In ESX 5.1 and Workstation 9, you can enable VT Pass-through for demonstration purposes. Although this enables running VERDE (including running virtual desktops), this is not a supported configuration. We do not provide support for pilots, POCs, or production environments running on VT Pass-through.
