Also, the number of successful Asterisk VMs will depend on the 
virtualisation technology used. The literature strongly suggests that 
Xen will work better than VMware, OpenVZ better than Xen, and Virtuozzo 
better than OpenVZ. YMMV.

We offer (as a business) Virtual Private Asterisk Servers (see 
www.vpas.ca) and have no problem running many more than 3 to 5 virtual 
Asterisk instances on a single server in commercially demanding 
environments.
