The Latin plural would be viri. The English plural would be viruses. Either can be considered correct; it is considered correct to use the English plural for a Latin term that's been brought into English usage. Virii, however, would be incorrect in either language.

Not! "Why have hundreds of Exchange servers when you can have one or two Oracle databases?" Could you imagine the size of pipes you would need to support this configuration? There are reasons to have servers all over. If presented in a bit better way, with much less mud. This might be a product I would look at. But as is I don't plan on bothering. Additionally from the looks of it, it is a core Email server that is it, exchange is and will become so much more then that. Unbreakable, Virus proof.. Can you say miracle cure?
