Maybe a few physical boxes with a handful of VMs on ea. What's really nice about VM Ware is their community contributed appliances. I don't think Virtual Box supports this. Also, with VM Ware you can have comparable physical networking functionality between VM's with Cisco's dist. virt switch or Vyatta.
