Anyone out there tested an all in one installation of a Puredesk storage unit on a VM running on Hyper-V?
Thanks,

We are deploying standard DL380G5/G6 boxes with 1TB to 2TB of storage capacity for our remote offices runnning ESX or Hyper-V. This give us an all in one configuration allowing DC, File Server, and local IT services such as AV/WSUS/Imaging.
Hyper-V is easier for our organization to support and I would like some of my remote sites to have a local Puredisk storage pool that replicates to a central location. This provides faster restores as long as we don't lose the entire ESX/Hyper-V box for my remote site.
Thanks,

I plan on testing a remote office all in one implmentation on Hyper-V in the near future. The configuration will be as follows:
HP DL380G5 with 16GB RAM and 900GB local raid 5 storage
4 network ports (3 teamed for VM's)
Windows 2003/2008 DC (Does not require protection)
Windows 2003/2008 File Server (65GB to grow to 250GB)
Puredisk 6.5.0.1 All in One (250GB to 500GB)
Future expansion for IT servers such as AV/WSUS/Imaging
We plan to backup to the local storage pool then implement replication policies to our central storage pool in our main data center for DR and access to Netbackup Media servers.
