VSX on open server deployments

[Maik]

Hey guys,

Just a small question, out of curiosity. Is it possible to set up an open server as a VSX installation? Also if it works theoretically, has anyone ever done this? I could imagine that some sort of issues could come up with such a deployment.

Yes - it does not really makes sense in a productive way. I am thinking about lab environments in order to get more hands on experience with VSX (+ maybe MDM). Currently I don't have a lab up and running where I could verify this. Searching the web also did not help me to find the answer.

Best regards,

Maik

VSX is supported instalation on Open servers, i would say a lot of customers run VSX on open servers and not just CP appliancies.

Haven't seen such a setup so far - but good to know.

Thanks for your response! 🙂

That is very strange, as VSX licenses (e.g. for 10 VS) only comes bundled with CP appliances (from 3100 up to 23800 models). The only available single VSX license is a Domain Blade for VSX license... Which license is used by a lot of customers for VSX on OpenServer ? I would not know one 😞...

Simply when you buy 2+ core license you have option to by VS license to it.

Yes you can run VSX on Open Server.
I am personally aware of several customers who either do this or have done it.

Been running VSX on open servers for 10years+.

Works fine and great way to keep capex cost down. Compare to bigger appliances as the licenses can be moved to new hardware.
