Potential known issues include (but are not limited to) the following:
- actual usable hardware performance on virtual environments (e.g VMWare configuration and licenses)
- network overhead on remote servers (e.g. bandwidth, proxy, VPN issues, VMWare inter OS network limitations without a proper license, etc.)
- shared resources with competing applications on the same OS, or between OS on a virtual environment,
- licensing limitations (e.g. most database server licenses limit the number of usable core/CPU)
- vendor software known limitations and requirements (e.g. Oracle on VMWare vs Oracle VM)
