Install Qliksense On Virtual Machine

Hi All,

My client asked me whether QS Server can install on VM.

I know it can. But My client wants to install QS server on VM as formal eviroment. I am afraid it will be unstable 。

Same configure with Physical machine，any difference?

I want to get some help .I hope someone can give me some reason to persuade my client choose Physical machine.

Thanks.

Hi Scott,

It won't be unstable just because of fact of using VM.

It could be unstable because of poor network, shared CPU/RAM resources on peak periods, bad storage (HDD/SSD), under-estimated workload.

The thickest argument is shared CPU resource... QS by nature of QIX engine requires full access to CPU, so it could utilize 100% of power any time and immediately - VM with shared resource will prevent this, which will lead to poor user experience.

It's hard to say with 100% certainty how bad it will be without knowing # of Apps, # of Objects in Apps, # of Users, Amount of data loaded into the system, etc.

Hope this helps

//Andrei
