This paper presents the impact analysis of the hypervisor layer over database applications. The conclusions were reached by performing experiments with hybrid environments, composed by bare-metal servers and two types of hypervisors. The main objectives were to compare the behaviour of database applications and to determine the maximum service capacity of a virtualized database server on different environments. With the results, it was possible to assess the scalability of a database environment, according to the type of hypervisor and the number of simultaneous connections, and decide how and when to expand or reduce the virtualized infrastructure.
