    <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;since I will need heartbeat, VCSA is out. And is another discussion (2 VMs versus&amp;nbsp; 1VM and 1Physical) &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I am talking in general and in a production environment (10 Hosts; 500 VMs). MSSQL licenses are not an issue and lets say that the SQL server will only be used for VMware.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;Since vSphere 4.0 i have always installed my MSSQL in a separate VM. I do know that some people install full MSSQL on the vCenter server.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;what do you think?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;what is the best practices? &lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;Do you use a separate SQL Server installation for vCenter Server?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;What's the size of your environment (hosts, VMs) and which other VMware applications (e.g. View, ...) do you use?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Depending on your needs you may want to take a look at the vCenter Server Appliance when upgrading to version 5.5. The appliance supports up to 100 hosts and 3000 VMs.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;André&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;In a production environment I always install SQL on a separate VM.&amp;nbsp; I don't want to build a monster VM.&amp;nbsp; I want to ensure that SQL processes do not overtake any vCenter processes.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I know this article is a little old, but the points that are made are still valid -&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;A href="http://rodos.haywood.org/2009/02/vcenter-server-database.html" title="http://rodos.haywood.org/2009/02/vcenter-server-database.html"&gt;http://rodos.haywood.org/2009/02/vcenter-server-database.html&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;In my opinion you have several things to consider.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;UL&gt;&lt;LI&gt;Disadvantages of having SQL together with SQL:&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;LI&gt;Increased resources usage for vCenter Server&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;LI&gt;More complex administration for Database Administrators&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;LI&gt;You can’t cluster SQL if it is installed on vCenter Server&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;/UL&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Advantages of having SQL together with vCenter:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;UL&gt;&lt;LI&gt;decreased dependancy on network communication between vCenter and SQL&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;LI&gt;operational costs decreases due to server consolidation&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;/UL&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I also recommend to watch great video from VMworld 2013 which explains a bit more about topic. &lt;A href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZUFg2iuBjXE" title="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZUFg2iuBjXE"&gt;https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZUFg2iuBjXE&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN class="embed-youtube" style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>
