Hi ,

I am looking for some comparison or data for sql 2008 deployment , what are the advantages and disadvantages installing multiple VM vs multiple named instance ?

How can i save license cost using VMs vs physical server for sql 2008 ?

is there a way to find out what is maximum number of connections to database at any time or in the past - need to calculate needed CAL license ?

Thanks.
