Guys,

We are running SQL 2000 on VMWARE from last year which had some issues in regards to performance (We are dealing with MultiMillions Records)

Recently we bought SQL Server 2005 Standard edition, and my management want to put that on VMWARE AS WELL.

Now I have concerns, as far as my understanding goes, for Database Servers we should use Standalone Servers ?

I need your advice, that is it wise to put Database server on VMWARE or not?

Thanks in advance.

It just depends. How big is your database? How large is your application? How many users will you have? ...
