We run a small in-house data centre for our various operations. Currently, we are moving applications from dedicated boxes to kvm based CentOS-6.1 virtual machines on a single CentOS-6.1 host. At issue is the question on how to handle the PostgreSQL instances that we currently have running on different machines. As we see it presently we have the option of having one VM host a centralized PostgreSQL server with multiple databases or continue with each application specific VM running its own copy of PostgreSQL with just the dedicated application database. Since whatever we chose we are likely to be using five years from now I am soliciting informed option over which option is considered a better choice for the long term. -- *** E-Mail is NOT a SECURE channel *** James B.
