Ryan, take a look at the following link. I believe this will provide information your looking for to make a decision.
Remedy 9.0 benchmark report has some data where we compared physical SQL server to a VM. Essentially we saw similar performance and therefore using a VM for a small or medium type of environment as a database server should be okay. For production environment we recommend not to over-subscribe resources and map (1-1 mapping) one VCPU to one physical core. https://docs.bmc.com/docs/display/public/brid90/Mixed+workload+with+Microsoft+SQL+server+deployed+to+a+Virtual+Machine On Tue, Oct 20, 2015 at 10:07 AM, Ryan Nicosia <ryan.nicosia....@socom.mil> wrote: > I've looked through the 9.0 upgrade documentation and outside of some > basic sizing guidelines I'm not really finding what I'm looking for. > > I've also downloaded the worksheet that BMC put together for planning your > resource requirements for 9.0 install based on users, ticket throughput, > etc. > > What I am after are recommendations on a virtualized Microsoft SQL cluster > and what we should provide to our SQL team on how SQL should be provisioned > to support Remedy.
