Symantec Endpoint Manager on VM

Hi,

I have SEPM installed and working fine on a Windows 7 machine.

We have a very small company - with no more than 250 machines to manage, so I have set it up with an embedded database.

I'm concerned about this "requirement" for virtualizing - https://support.symantec.com/en_US/article.TECH132456.html

Specifically this - 

•  
• The SQL database should not reside in the same ESX cluster for better I/O handling

Does this indicate that I can't have an embedded databse anymore?   We would definately need to have the installation all on one VM.

Thank you,

Vicki
