I am wondering if there was a way to use NxTop Center on Windows Azure?
Azure has Java, .NET support. It has SQL Azure for the DB. There is support for having all kinds of files availible through the service. I am not sure about the compatibility with HyperV but I figured someone here might know if it is possible.

Hi Shawn,

Unfortunately, since Azure uses a different undelying hypervisor technology than Hyper-V, we are not able to run NxTop Center in Azure at the moment. We use Hyper-V to create and run the NxTop virtual machines in the console, which is where the rub is. The application itself would likely run, but it would be missing this key piece of functionality.

We have actually run NxTop Center successfully in the cloud with a hosting provider that uses Hyper-V. We would be happy to share those details if you are interested.
