We've started moving various servers to a VMWARE solution at work over the last month or so, using an EMC server as the backing store. I have to say this technology is really impressive. I did some testing on Progress dumps and loads of our primary databases in comparison to our old system with attached RAID 10 partitions, and I saw NO loss of performance, even with only a minor increase in CPU speed between the two servers.
This is good stuff kids. It's going to be interesting to see how everything performs as we move more systems onto this server.
