Alfresco 3.4.d and.3.4.e stable?

Hi all, Our people started with Alfresco 3.4.d three months ago and we are facing some problems with high CPU, giant number of records in alf_node_properties and I thought if we could move to version 4.0 but isnt that simple. So based on this brief context I have some questions:1. After some search

"It is widely said" without specific points, topics like that are going nowhere.

It's true that there can be some issues with running Java on a VM. In particular how to free memory from a Java VM is something that keeps virtualisation vendors awake at night. Its also true that there is a small overhead on running on virtualised servers.

Equally there are many instances of alfresco running just fine on virtualised servers, not least alfresco in the cloud.

The most common vm configuration problems are - not giving the process enough RAM (Alfresco likes lots of RAM!), contention from other VMs (Other processes hogging all the CPU), and virtualisation issues like how to configure networking on a virtualised environment.

My aimed point in those questions is to know if it is feasible or not put alfresco on VMs. As you said I should conclude that it is definitely possible, there are cases and there is no such "NOT RECOMENDED"

Thank you!!!
