Hello,

My company is considering moving some development databases to a new hardware platform. There are two proposals under consideration:

1. 5 blade servers, using VMware to create 25 virtual servers with each virtual servers running a single instance of Oracle 10g on each.
2. 5 blade servers with each running 25 instances of a database using RAC.

I'd like to find out if anyone has any comments as to which would be the most efficient and what they would recommend.

Thanks very much.
