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.

What benefit are you hoping to gain, I could see a few advantages, but I see more overhead than benefit. Eric S.
