How can I justify my answer for installing Anlysis Services and Integration Services on Virtual Machine for Production Server?The scenario is I don't have any details of Cube growth and how the data is fed into the cubes but management is asking for justifiaction why VM is not a good choice for Analysis services and Integration Services?
The problem is not related to having a VM, you will need to plan for resources regadless of using a VM or a physial machine. If you are plannig on growing to a 2tb DW you will need a disk capable of holding that data.
