[/quote]Thanks Benjamin. I am wondering about this VM. I don't know if they're experts at that or not, or have even focused on trying to isolate them. I wonder if you have to be really an expert at that, or is it a fairly routine operation.Mon, 05 Nov 2012 11:56:41 GMTmtillman-921105http://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic1380036-1454-1.aspxThe two machines can be well isolated, but it greatly depends on your configuration.

So if I have a SQL server called Quantum and one called Particle, if one is extremely spiking, will the other necessarily be affected?Thanks for your time.Mark[Edit for English]Thu, 01 Nov 2012 14:43:06 GMTmtillman-921105
