VM-Aware

Yes you did read it correctly, the guys over @ VMware courtesy of the VROOM! blog have published some lab results of Exchange 2007 being pushed on an ESX 3.5 box.

The results are extremely positive and 8 VMs running 2000 mailboxes each are very comfortably served on ESX 3.5. Admittedly the ESX host is an IBM x3850M2 with 4 quad processors and 128GB of memory, but nonetheless impressive it is.

Read all about it at source here.
