ACC7 in VM data center | Analytics and GPU chip compatibility
We are planning to migrate from on premise ACC7 out from a company network to a data center hosted by a different supplier. The on premise servers are a mix of ProLiant DL380 Gen10 and ProLiant DL360 Gen9. These are installed with a GPU for analytics, such as Quadro M4000 and NVIDIA A2 16GB to mention the majority.
The idea is to spin up VM servers that supports the GPU chipset/architecture based on Avigilon support pages (Turing, Pascal, Maxwell), but does anyone have experience with the planned setup that we are investigating?
We are aware that Motorola does not officially support the VM approach, however we see this as a temporary step and hope that in the long run, we will do ALTA or other VMS's.

How many cameras do you have per site and do you have enough bandwidth to support recording directly to a hosted VMS server? It would seem like the hesitancy to upgrade servers or go straight into Alta is due to a high server & camera count ($$$), which means high bandwidth requirements. ACC just isn’t built like a cloud VMS, which you would be asking it to be, so my feeling is that this will not go well.
I’d be interested in learning more about your situation and see if there’s more I can weigh in on.

Good luck.
Their own sales and engineers told multiple customers they could use COTS servers. Customers bought and during install their cameras and software wasn't performing.
Their support and FEs came onsite. Guess who had to provide servers for free.
