Cost of VM? On several engagements I've been on when the VM vendor states how much cash you'll save they don't mention anything about licensing costs. Or what about the costs associated with yet another server to manage?

And I'm curious about the folks who moved to the VM servers. Exactly how did you do your load testing?

Were there other VM's running on the same frame?

Did you use the load testing software that came from the VM vendor? (Really nobody would believe the vendor or the vendor's software would they?)

And while it's easy for you to move things around and stop and start the VM what real production benefit is that for the business user?

Just a couple of questions to find out if this is finally real or just a new flavor of kool-aid.
