Martin MacLeod is an IT consultant based in London with several years' experience deploying and supporting blade servers in volume. He also blogs at bladewatch.com, where he tracks news on blade servers, grids and virtualization. Listen to the rest of Martin's answers on blade server virtualization by downloading our blade server virtualization podcast.
The different databases mean that your applications to be virtualized might need specific requirements within the virtualization structure, so you might have feeds coming in from different applications. You might see that it's better to virtualize some of the standalone databases instead of virtualizing them and consolidating them all onto one box, from an operational and administrative standpoint.
