I have recently deployed 7.5 in a VM environment, 1 test/dev environment and 1 production envrioment, at a US Army facility. I split out the SQL 2005 Server onto it's own VM and gave the SQL server 8GB of ram, mid-tier on another VM, and the ITSM /CMDB/ARSystem on another. I designed the environment to handle about 400 concurrent users. We performed our first load tests last week and had satisfactory results. The fat client had some issues in the Citirix farm. The mid-tier server performed better than the fat client.

Is anyone running a virtualized SQL Server for an enterprise ITSM 7.5 application? The planned user base for this system is planned for 200 concurrent support staff initially but may grow to 400.
