There is a larger context of the need for server consolidation and
virtualization of services at this client site. The reason for targeting
Metaframe at this point is that they have a need for a modest two server
farm. We, of course, recommended a dedicated data collector, which now means
three servers. Then you start to talk about Nfuse, CSG, etc. and it seems
like a great idea. The other factor is DR, this client spends a fortune
supporting an off-site recovery service. If the server images and roles are
done in VMWare they can be archived as a single disk file and brought up
instaneously at another site, or within other servers on-site.

I would be interested in hearing more about your project.  What benefit are
you hoping to gain, I could see a few advantages, but I see more overhead
than benefit.

Does anyone have experience with running production systems of MF XP on 
VMWare ESX server? We are working on a project with this idea in mind and 
would appreciate and feedback from others who have tried this approach.
