- Is certified by the virtualization platform vendor.
- Is supported by Sage X3.
The virtualized environment is correctly configured and managed according to virtualization platform and hardware vendors’ good practices, particularly:
- Lowest possible latency between the database tier and the application/runtime tier.
- No (or very little) CPU over-provisioning.
- No or moderate memory over-provisioning.
- Plenty of storage IOPs for the database tier. SSD highly recommended.
