Most modern applications like databases were designed with very “loose” dependence on hardware infrastructure. They can typically run on a variety of hypervisors including virtual machines and containers. The respective ISV vendor typically only specifies the supported underlying operating system (Guest OS) but does not require certification of any hypervisor. However, there can be specific features that a customer deployment of these applications requires at a hypervisor or infrastructure level. For example, a Microsoft SQL Server Failover cluster instance requires a shared disk between multiple SQL Server VMs. Oracle, similarly, requires shared disks for an Oracle Real Application Cluster (RAC) setup. Therefore, it needs to be always validated whether the specific deployment requires certain features and whether these are supported by VM Essentials in its latest release.
Select ISV applications require “full stack” certifications including OS, hypervisor, compute and storage devices, or even the specific storage connectivity protocol. SAP HANA and related SAP applications are a typical example; so are some Healthcare Electronic Health Record (EDR) applications. If you or your customer plans on running one of these applications, contact your HPE account team.
