Hi,
Has anyone tried to host Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011 for hundreds or thousands of organizations on the same server at the same root server URL (e.g. https://*.HOSTINGFIRM.com)? If so, how have you gone about this on the server side? Do you have one Virtual Machine per organization to divide up the organizations for troubleshooting and/or tracing purposes?
The problem with hosting it all on the same server is that it makes server-side CRM tracing extremely verbose because the trace picks up the 999 other organizations on the same server. For example, if you did server tracing for a few seconds for 100 hosted organizations it would create dozens of log files at 10.5MB each, with activities from every organization. This makes for extremely time consuming troubleshooting if you're digging through hundreds of huge server-side log files. It makes server-side tracing beyond a few seconds virtually useless since it would mean data overload.
Does anyone have any ideas of how you might host CRM 2011 for multiple organizations in a cost effective way, so that as the hosting organization you can do server-side tracing for just one specific organization?
Thanks!
