We're considering partitioning larger Intel servers using VMware and setting up our Linux environments ... production and development. Is anyone else doing this - have any experiences to share? Pros/Cons? And is 6 servers per engine consolidation reasonable (i.e., 4 engines would equate to 24 machines)? Realizing that it is dependent on type of workload - file, print, web, etc. We've got a few Linux Intel boxes and would like to avoid the WinTel farms we've acquired.
