Virtualizing Microsoft SQL Server on vSphere consolidates databases while optimizing compute resources. Migrate SQL servers in their current state without error-prone application migrations.
Preserve existing SQL Server configurations with a “physical to virtual” (P2V) migration, which doesn’t require application migration or changes to the operating system or SQL Server versions.
Most SQL instances do not require more than eight [PH1] cores. Easily consolidate smaller SQL databases with vSphere to fully utilize large servers and achieve consolidation ratios of 10X or more.
Once all the physical processors of a host have been licensed, deploy an unlimited number of SQL virtual machines (depending on the edition), consolidating licenses on fewer physical processors.
