Top Rated SQL Server on Virtual Machines Alternatives
23 SQL Server on Virtual Machines Reviews
The best thing about running SQL Server on a Virtual Machine includes a few different things.
1) The ability to run a virtual machine snapshot prior to doing updates. This allows for a quick roll back if the updated causes issues.
2) The ability to run a backup easily and with just a click. The speed of the backups is far better. Restoring from backup is much better.
3) The ability to increase resources on the virtual SQL server is so much simpler. Adding vCPU's and vRAM is very easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
