Running anything in VM on the whole will be unsupported. Certainly ColdFusion will not be officially supported in it.
We have several ESX environments / networks which host ColdFusion and they all run fine The best thing I can see about VM is licensing, you theoretically would only need to buy one ColdFusion license (depending on box) and you could deloy it across large numbers of VMs whereas a physical machine would require more. In all reality, unsupported aside, you should see no difference in the way ColdFusion runs or presents itself.

All, VMWare ESX Server Vs Physical Hardware? This past week I was asked if IâEUR(tm)d like to move a perfectly working CF MX Enterprise environment running dual CPUâEUR(tm)s to a Huge VMWare ESX Server virtual server environment. Does anyone have any recommendations virtual verse physical hardware or past/current experiences they can share? I emailed Adobe to see if they even support CF in a virtual environment I havenâEUR(tm)t heard back yet.
