installing .Net Framework on servers

I have a customer who's IT department is hesitant to install .Net
Framework on their servers.  The customer is already running the
application locally (the local computers have the Framework installed).
Are there documents available that I can provide IT departments to
ease their concern about installing .Net Framework and .Net
applications on their servers?

Thanks,
Tim

In terms of what?

Stability? Security?

Hmmm... If they're weary about .NET, I would give them a presentation to
tell them what the .NET framework is exactly. Also do a comparison with
Java's runtime as they do about the same thing.

Thanks for the reply.  They are probably concerned with both.  I'm
dealing with the users of the software and not directly with the IT
department.  That may change soon.  They may also be concerned about my
..Net application conflicting with other applications running on the
servers.

MSDN has several articles on .NET and CLR security.

How about deploying your software on a virtual server? VMWare Server is now
free, so you can deploy your app in a sandbox environment : )

Thanks - good advice.  They will be testing the application in a test
environment - maybe with something like VMWare Server - I'm not sure.
They are careful with what they deploy on their servers because of
security and Sarbanes Oxley requirements they must comply with.

Depending on the version of the server OS, one or more versions of the
framework are already installed.
