In Response To: VMWare and Informix databases (kate)

Hi Kate,

Yes, I have used VM-ware Freeserver & VM-Fusion for OS X. Both instances I
have setup the virtual server with RedHat EL 4.0 and IDS 10.00.UC5 for
Linux. I did indeed notice a performance difference with 2 Virtual CPU's
set for the virtual server. However, I wouldn't call it a huge difference,
but the RHEL 4.0 O/S seemed more responsive in the virtual machine with
Informix queries running.

The best results were on my Mac Pro Dual Intel Core2Duo (4 CPU's Total)
running WM-Fusion. I have not tried any of this under VM-ware ESX Server,
however, my net admin is currently configuring a RHEL 5.0 Virtual Server
under ESX so that I can start testing IDS 11 for Linux.

HTH
