Hi Christopher, To this day, as far as I know, Oracle doesn't certify their database on any virtualization platform other than theirs. That said, I know many people run Oracle over VMware and I also haven't heard any stories of Oracle not wanting to support a customer because they were running a non-certified virtualization platform. However, I still think the OP needs to be aware of this just in case. > However, if I may, you will be much better off handling these things > from a performance point of view using a bare metal hypervisor, and in > that case, I would recommend the free version of ESXi. I think KVM is considered a bare metal hypervisor as well. I haven't used it but I was wondering if you had performed any tests (performance wise) on Oracle over KVM vs Oracle over ESXi?
