Your company may have the skills to diagnose the problems that sipXecs
has with VM systems, and I encourage you to pursue it.

In regard to "multiple company" deployments, perhaps it is time to get
someone to do the work needed to have multiple sipXecs installations to
run on one host.  In theory, this is straightforward, all you need to do
is have each set of sipXecs processes use (1) a different directory tree
for their read-write files, (2) a different set of ports, and (3) a
different "database" in PostgreSQL.  Number 2 can be configured through
the web interface already, and number 1 can be configured by rebuilding
from source.  I've had 5 copies of sipXecs running on a system at one
time with no problems.

What we need is to arrange for numbers 1 and 3 to be configurable via
environment variables.  Currently, most of the C++ code finds file
directories through one class in sipXcommons, which is initialized via
the Makefile and arguments to ./configure.  Other parts of the code are
initialized in more rigid ways.

What is needed is someone to go through the code completely to adjust
the "plumbing" that transmits these values.  We don't need someone who
is a brilliant programmer as much as someone who is thorough and has a
good sense of design (to make sure the ultimate solution is
well-structured).  Unfortunately, this is one of those changes that
can't be done incrementally -- it is useless until it is completely
done.
