It seems like much of the problem with virtualizing Asterisk is getting it to
interface with DAHDI cards. Is that correct? As I'm not planning on using
such cards (I'm only interfacing with our broadband connection), would this

I'd
We virtualize every asterisk install, and have achieved density levels of
80MB RAM per install of asterisk. We do it all day, every day.
As Chris wrote if you're putting it on shared hardware that you don't
control, just don't. If you control all of the hardware it's very doable.

The problem we ended up having with virtualised asterisk (on esx,
xenserver and hyperv) was that the clock timings to the vm aren't always
accurate when you're using dahdi_dummy.

A point of clarification. The get started video on asterisk.org says that
running asterisk on a virtual platform is a popular option. Go for it! the
presenter says. However, the 2011 third edition of Asterisk, The Definitive
Guide says they don't recommend it for production use, though many
For 150 phones I would suggest you dedicate a machine, mebbe a Core 2 Duo.
Voice quality on virtualized platforms is troublesome, hence not
recommended for production usage.
Home usage for less then 2-5 phones it works perfectly fine in virtualized
env.
