    Symantec will support EV hosted in Azure as long as it ticks all the boxes in the Compatibility Chart*

    *the big caveat would be - Symantec will not accept support calls based on performance unless the issue can be reproduced removing the cloud platform

    We actually had a call with Symantec on this topic and it is supported. There are some caveats but it was the same when VMware was new technology too. Eventually I expect it to be like second nature.

Many thanks for the info

Can I just confirm that this will be a solution whereby EV Server is moved into Azure (along with the EV SQL server and a storage location for configured for the archives, but the user data (this is for file archiving rather than email archiving) remains on premise and so when it hits the archiving criteria it is archived from on-premise into Azure?

I just want to be certain that the production data doesn't need to be in the cloud too......

kind regards
