From MAS 5.0 Engineering Guidelines

Quote
MAS Hardware Requirements
vMAS is qualified for installation on the following platforms:
  • vSphere 4.1 SP1 to vSphere 5.1
    installed on an Intel based server with a minimum Xeon
    55xx Series @ 2GHz or better (supporting Intel Nehalem architecture), with hyper threading
    and Intel Virtual Technologies (VT) enabled.
  • vSphere 5.0 to vSphere 5.1 installed on an AMD based server with an Opteron 2431 processor with 6 cores @ 2.4 GHz server or better including Rapid Virtualization Indexing technology.
  • vSphere Client installed on a Windows workstation. Refer to the VMware website for detailed installation procedures and additional documentation.

You can install MAS on VMWare but you will need a license to convert MAS (MiCollab) to Virtual if it as existing install.
Part# 54005389

Otherwise just purchase vMAS.

The MAS software is meant for a physical server. Mitel doesn't support taking it and installing it in vMWare. They offer a specific product call a vMAS that is prepackaged and preconfigured for vMWare. What others are saying is that you can take a MAS installation and convert it to a vMAS through some appropriate licensing.

Only supported on ESXi so you are on your own if you try Server or Player versions of vMWare.

I have never run a full MAS in a VM, other than supported vMAS installation...

That being said, I have run MBG, ME, and UCA stand alone servers virtually on several VM platforms (Hyper-V, CoWare, several "unsupported" VMware servers) with no issues, just build it in you VM manager as a generic Linux OS and give it sufficient resources then install manually from CD. Sometimes, especially with MBG in Gateway mode, it takes a little tweaking on the host side to get everything working.

This is not a supported configuration, but I can verify it works in several installations over several years. None of these actually was a virtual licensed application from Mitel.

YMMV... Take it with a grain of salt.

You don't want Mitel apps on VMware workstation. The latency would make them useless. This is why Mitel only supports hypervisors that run on bare metal.
