Exchange 2010 can now run in a virtualized environment !


From now Exchange 2010 is completely supported to be run in a virtualized environment.

This also includes the unsupported features:
– Unified Messaging server Role
– Combining Exchange 2010 DAG ( Database Availability Groups ) with hypervisor-based clustering, high availability and migration solutions that move automatically failover mailbox servers that are members of a DAG.

The vendors that participate in the SVVP can be found here:http://www.windowsservercatalog.com/svvp.aspx?svvppage=svvp.htm
