VMware Support Statement:
ComBrio Inc. confirms that we will support customers running our Virtual Service Infrastructure (VSI) solution on supported Operating Systems in a VMware virtual machine environment. ComBrio will provide unqualified support for Virtual Service Infrastructure (VSI) running in a VMware virtual environment in an identical manner as with Virtual Service Infrastructure (VSI) running on any other major x86 based systems without initially requiring reproduction of issues on native hardware. Should ComBrio suspect that the virtualization layer is the root cause of an incident; the customer will be required to contact the appropriate VMware support provider to resolve the VMware issue. While ComBrio products are expected to function properly in a VMware virtual environment, there may be performance implications which can invalidate ComBrio typical sizing and recommendations.
