 Windows Server can be installed on a bare-metal machine or on a virtual machine (VM) hosted by any popular type-1 hypervisor or virtual private server (cloud) technology.  Type-2 hypervisors can work for demos and POCs, but because they are typically installed on desktop operating systems, aren't recommended.

 ## Using SQL Server Express \{#SQLServerDatabaseRequirements-UsingSQLServerExpress}
 
 The easiest and cheapest way to get started is with [SQL Server Express](https://oc.to/downloadsqlserverexpress) and install the Octopus Server and SQL Server Express side-by-side on your server. This is a great way to test Octopus for a proof of concept. Depending on your needs, you might decide to use SQL Server Express, or upgrade to another supported edition.
 
-## Configuration Guidelines
-
-The SQL Database Octopus Deploy uses can be hosted on a local SQL Server, or one of the many cloud providers.  The requirements are: 
-
-- Must be running SQL Server 2016+ or Azure SQL
-- Be located in the same data center as the servers/container hosts that host Octopus Deploy.

 Octopus works with a wide range of versions and editions of SQL Server, from a local SQL Server Express instance, all the way to an Enterprise Edition [SQL Server Failover Cluster](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/sql-server/failover-clusters/high-availability-solutions-sql-server) or [SQL Server AlwaysOn Availability Group](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/database-engine/availability-groups/windows/overview-of-always-on-availability-groups-sql-server), or even one of the hosted database-as-a-service offerings.
 
 Octopus supports versions of SQL Server that have at least 2 years of active support remaining from Microsoft. Versions approaching or past end-of-support are not supported.
