Re: Storage choice for Oracle database on VMware

After dealing with multiple filesystems of very busy databases for the last year (one of which is 70+TB), I would say ASM ALL THE WAY. Never go back to filesystems after using ASM.

Adding space, managing space is so much better on ASM.

Just my $0.02.
