[snip] Virtualization includes overhead. It is fine as long as your application can tolerate that, but if your performance demands grow there will be a point where a DB server in a virtual machine will cause trouble but the same HW as a "real" machine would still suffice. [/snip]
We run MySQL in virtualized environments processing millions of records a day (virtual servers interact with our SAN for storage) and have actually enjoyed performance increases. We are also able to take advantage of advanced disaster recovery/business continuity options available to us in this kind of environment. -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
