<BODY bgColor=#ffffff>>You may be able to split up some of the servers into
multiple VMs -- maybe five >servers with five VMs each. <BR>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'm not sure I see the merit in this. VMs
seem to be regarded as a magic bullet (i.e. free lunch). I don't know of
any case where 5 VMs can accomplish more work on one processor than simply
letting the processor manage it all (except if the OS and or application can't
efficiently split the task into the necessary multiple threads, which I don't
think is an issue here). By definition, the total accomplished must be
less with VMs, because the hypervisor will take some CPU cycles.</FONT></DIV>
