Hello! Up until three weeks ago I had the original install of my database running on a dell poweredge 2900. A raid failure took that machine out of service, my backups were fair, but I needed to use a recovery service on the disks ( punctured raid 5 stripe ) ,
I quickly setup an XP desktop to serve up the backup database to users. ( lets call it DB2 )
I have put together a cluster of Dell R520's running server 2012 and they are in production.
All users have agreed that we are going to continue with DB2 for production and I now have two dilemmas.
Act version : ACT! by Sage Premium for Workgroups 2007 (9.0) (EX Edition) Version 9.0.0.175
Thanks in advance.

One additonal thought I had was to virtualize XP on the new server and run the database from there. Bad idea?

I don't think that version will run on a 64bit machine so your best bet is probably to run the virtual XP machine. The current version of ACT! is v16 so you are about 7 versions back. Needless to say there have been a number of improvments to the product since then. I would recommend upgrading.
