We are in the process of moving our VLE (and associated apps) to a Virtualisation Platform (CentOS/RHEL on VMware ESX)
Red Hat Enterprise 5.* 64Bit is supported on this platform.
Red Hat also offer and all-in-one Virtualisation Platform in their Advanced Edition, however this is currently of limited use under their academic program.
The same results can be achieved with CentOS as it is a community supported distro based on RHEL.
Apache is quite happy indeed with 64Bit Linux.
If you are looking to do a Physical to Virtual Conversion of your existing VLE be aware that moving from one CPU type to another (Intel -> AMD or vice versa) is not advised in the slightest as the Kernel is compiled specifically for each of those processors.
We are still in the planning and trashing stage but I would be happy to share as and when I can.
Gary.

Subject: [VLES] running a vle on a SAN Virtualisation
Hello
might not be quite the right place to ask this, but if anyone can point me
in the right direction for more info that would be extremely useful.
Has anyone put their VLE on a virtualised server SAN system and if so is
there anything I should watch out for?
I'm still struggling to get to grips with whether Apache can run on 64 bit
architecture so you can see I've got quite a bit to learn.
Thanking you in advance for any insights.
Regards
Heather
