    it's much easier to snapshot a few versions of the VM as you build it, so there's no need to start from scratch with re-installs if you have a problem.

    Be mindful with snapshots to only keep them short term, also reduce the number of snapshots you take

    We're on a project now to move GIS from physical to VM/Citrix servers with host graphics cards. Maintenance is so much easier in the VM world. YMMV.[/quote]

    The GIS system I worked on was huge, we would have given any potential VM a large percentage of the host resources, at this point you know it needs to stay physical.
