There is no need to run your db on vmware... If they're on the same machine the connection always goes through the local loopback device thus never touching the actual network.
This is true both when the DB host is specified as 'localhost' or '127.0.0.1' and if the machine's actual host name or outside network address is used (in which case the OS will/should recognise that it's actually a local connection and uses the loopback)
Соединение с базой данных
Вы можете использовать безопасные SSL или ssh соединения, для шифрования данных, которыми обмениваются клиент и сервер. Если вы реализуете что-нибудь из этого, то мониторинг трафика и сбор данных о вашей базе данных для потенциального взломщика существенно усложнится.

Even if webserver and DBMS are on the same phisical machine one can separate networks by setting database in virtual server inside the main system (using for example VMware solutions).

Another solution to protect your database is to have a seperate backend network exclusively used for database traffic. Your webserver(s) would have two interface cards: one facing the world, one facing the internal database network. This way- there's no chance of intercepting database traffic from the outside.

Obviously, this does not apply if PHP and the DBMS are running on the same machine.
