Jeff,
Respectively I hope that you are only taking about highly utilized
production Citrix servers and not other servers as VMs. There are many
companies including where I work that have production VMs of various
sorts and flavours. ESX is absolutely a production ready product that is
capable of running production VMs. Yes there will be servers that have
too high of utilization to be running on ESX but there are tons of over
powered underutilized servers out there.

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

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!
