Yes, but for a silo that has 3 or more servers it does not make sense. The
cost and overhead is high for gaining very little or nothing at all. If
anything, you've increase your resource requirements.
Vmotion is cool, but do you really need it for a Citrix server? How hard is
it to disable logons and wait until the users drop off? Building Citrix
servers on raw hardware can be just as easy and fast as deploying a VM from
a template. Throw in Ardence and you've got a killer solution (yes, Ardence
can be used for VMs too)
For really small silos and under-utilized servers it makes sense, but if
you're deploying EPIC to 2000 users it does not.

I know several places, going entirely VM. I have been lucky to be part
of them.
Why would you want to....save rack space (thereby saving floor space),
save power, save heat, ability to dynamically move servers, ease of
build of new servers, save time, more efficiently run on the hardware
given, etc. The list goes on and on.

Why would you want to run PS servers on a VM? How much Virtualization
is too much? I never thought of using VM for Citrix, except for test
servers. I do use VM for WI, License and AAC servers, however.
