How many servers are running out there? I bet all of us can think of 
multiple orgs with over a million.

At that scale, maintenance is going to be constant: disk replacements, 
bad RAM, more efficient CPUs, etc.

With a VM, one can move the VM to another physical host with *zero* 
downtime.

A SysAdmin's dream and well worth the 8% overhead.

Their security has been well tested and is fine. Not perfect, since 
nothing is.  Also, doesn't the concept of a VM go all the way back to 
early mainframes? I think it does.


Indeed, it's probably better security for a multi user environment since 
it isolates the users' environments from each other much better and it 
allows a hundred Ubuntu users plus That One Guy who wants to run some 
obscure OS that no one else cares about enough to run on bare metal in a 
hosting environment.
