At work we have a couple of asterisk instances.
Some of them are used for doing interfaceing job, like towards isdn-BA
or isdn-PRA, skype or GSM. (those do only _that_ and nothing more.

Others (dialplan, voicemail, etc etc) are running as an XEN-image.
Reason: much more easier to replace
Some of the are still 1.4 while others run several different 1.6
versions.
Currently i'm experimenting with a bunch of virtual 1.8-systems.

from my point of view sles/xen works rock solid.
