Re: Seriously!
"Databases? They go in a VM"
Not in any large environment. Or for anything that needs licensing from Oracle.You would normally have an SQL Server (and maybe Oracle) cluster that hosted multiple databases with appropriately sized hardware. There is no gain to be had from virtualising such an already shared platform.
"Get your databases on a proper DB server and thus on a proper OS!"
Yep, SQL Server is the easy choice. My condolences for those still stuck with Oracle.
