Hi,
We have a physical server running our SQL and we are thinking of virtilizing it. Our current peak TPS is 20,000 and we would like to have room for at least double that. I know the performance of SQL in a VM is not as good as on the physical, but for backup and recovery. We would like to have our databases on a VM.
Has anyone migrated to a VM in similar circumstances and if so, what kind of hardware and hypervisor was used? (Hyper-V, VSpere or other) * Including SAN, Server space and allocated Compute. As well as if other VMs are on the same host and if the SQL host is clustered?
Thanks
