The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Databases Running on Virtual Machines (VM)

Asked by DonFreeman in Oracle Database, MS SQL Server, VMware

Tags: , , ,

I have taken over a database shop that has some databases running on VMWare.   I am getting a lot of pressure to do more of that and just before I took over they moved two large SQL servers to VM that run a myriad of smaller databases supporting our GenGov program.   Most of these have less than 10 users and they appear to running well.   Oracle announced its own VM solution yesterday.   I asked about this on line this morning and haven't received a lot of feedback yet but one guy mentioned that the main problem with VM and Oracle is licensing costs.  The processor/licensing math works to Oracle's advantage in this case.

What I believe I am seeing however is that the VM technology competes with RAC, Grid, and SQL Cluster technology.   The primary means of managing failover, disaster recovery and maintaining availability shifts to the server team from the DB team.  Is this a correct view?  The Oracle DBA's I talked to at our last Oracle User Group lunch seemed universally against the use of VMware but we didn't have time to get into the specifics of why.   Since we are getting ready to upgrade the database servers on one of our major apps I I want to make sure that when I debate this that the facts are on my side and I'm not defending an inferior technology just because I manage it.   I need some discussion of this and am willing to share points for informed knowledgeable commentary (which I shamelessly will claim as my own to my boss ).
