I assume you don't have the option of getting rid of them. 
Power (and cooling), admin salary etc are the dominant cost 
of older machines and you're not getting a lot of compute 
out of them.

installed where - clients, your machines?

you're discussing implementation here - I don't understand 
these two lines and I don't know the connection to the 
function described above.

Do you want the single machine (the sum of all machines?) to 
then run multiple VMWares?
