In addition to Ron's question I'd be curious to hear about
the hardware platform and intended use of the database.
So far my gut tells me that high-performance databases
(or Linux/Unix servers with high average work-loads) don't
really offer themselves to virtualisation that well, specially
when you throw lots of disk I/O into the equation.
Cheers,
