I used to think so, but with ESX 3.0 built specially for Citrix support,
and the larger hardware (ours are on DL385 Dual/Dual, with 6-16GB ram), we
are able to handle some pretty intensive applications to date.

I believe the general concesus is is that for production, VM's are not the
way. Lightly used servers are fine, but for an entire farm the performance
is ismply not there yet.

Currently running FR3 on 2000 SP4, and am beginning to evaluate and look
at building a separate Windows 2003 CPS 4.0 Farm on the VMWare ESX
platform. Just wanted to get an idea if anyone on the list has something
similar in production today, what hardware you deployed to support published
apps on ESX and VMotion, and how you designed your farm (including Data
Collector and Database). Also looking for Best Practices and Things to
Avoid!
Thanks!!
