    Just checking to find out if there are any known issues with installing UniData 8.2.2 on Azure. Just basic database functions required.

    James,

    I would not expect any issues in an Azure environment - UniData will have been certified on an O/S and it is up to the VM (Azure in this case) to fully provide the certified O/S.

    For our formal statement on Virtualisation - whatever the method - please see  https://rbc.rocketsoftware.com/VM.html

    Graham,

    32GB of memory for a 20 user system seems high, but if you ( or the application provider )  already calculated the requirements, then it would be hard for me to 2nd guess.

    That being said, there are several items to consider when determining system requirements for a solution built on UniData.   

    There is a good section in the UniData Installation Guide, 

    If you are re-hosting, the size and performance of the existing system is a good starting point.

    Either way, I would recommend you do some benchmarking, and adjust accordingly.

    I've been running Universe on Azure with no issues - it's worked out pretty well!

    VM - Windows 11 pro desktop

    Standard D4s v3 (4 vcpus, 16 GiB memory)
    I also created a 1TB disk which I've discovered is a little more expensive than I thought so I'll be scaling back to 512GB when I get a chance.
