We implemented on a VMWare cluster mainly for high availability and 
flexibility.  We can quickly move a virtual DB host from one physical to 
another without any downtime or loss of active sessions via VMotion.  We have 
the flexibility to run other virtuals on the same host as the DB if we 
want/need to in the future, but for now, we have plenty of hardware to 
accommodate everything so we give the DB servers their own machines and 
consolidate our Windows and App servers on other machines.

Curious, what was the incentive of using vmware considering your are running 
just one instance?
