3 | Deploying Sage 200 across a network
Installation options for virtualised platforms
All elements of Sage 200 are supported in a virtualised environment if the following conditions are met: n
The underlying virtualisation platform has been accredited by the Microsoft Windows Server
Virtualisation Program. See http://www.windowsservercatalog.com/svvp.aspx
for further details.
n
The host operating system is one of the supported operating systems outlined in the system requirements. See
Supported operating systems on page 4 .
Sage 200 is also supported when running in a Microsoft Hyper-V virtualised environment which is running one of the supported operating systems outlined in the System Requirements.
You must ensure that the server hosting the virtual machines is of sufficient specification to run both the underlying operating system, and the virtual machine that Sage 200 is running on.
Client hosted virtualisation
Sage 200 clients are supported when running in a client hosted virtualised environment, provided that the virtualised environment is running a supported version of Windows. For example: n
Sage 200 Client running in a Windows 7 VM hosted on Mac OS.
n
Sage 200 Client running in a Windows 8.1 VM hosted on Linux.
Due to the large number of virtualisation platforms it is not practical or feasible for Sage to test them all. If you encounter issues while running client software in a client hosted virtualised environment, you may be required to reproduce the issues in a standard (non-virtualised) environment. Refer to the Products and Services Terms and Conditions here: http://www.sage.co.uk/legal/termsconditions/product-services-terms.html
.
Hosting
Sage 200 is only supported in a hosted environment where the entire solution is hosted and users connect to the system via a Microsoft Terminal Services, Remote Desktop Services or Citrix connection.
Sites considering a hosted solution may wish to consider Sage 200 Online as an alternative method of deployment.
