Can I virtualize my TS Gateway server?

[Guest googlegroups@trailer.net]

I'm wondering if "security-wise" it would okay to create my TS Gateway

server as a virtual server under Hyper-V, along with all of my other

VMs? I could give it its own dedicated NIC if that would help matters,

as the host server has 6 NICs. Our Checkpoint FW should handle all the

filtering necessary...

 

Thanks,

As long as it's in the DMZ, I don't see why it would make any real

difference if it was physical or virtual.

Thanks Jeff, that's what I was thinking. I looked around a bit

yesterday, but couldn't find any mention of anyone running it as a VM,

so I didn't know if that fell outside of the realm of a best practice.

 

Thanks,

 

Mike

Ah but did you find anyone that says you shouldn't run it as a VM? Just a

different way of looking at the issue. :)

 

I wouldn't sweat it. Everything is going virtual nowadays.

Lol... I try to follow suggested best practices for things like this,

so I didn't want to assume it was okay to do so without finding

supporting info first.
