There's more to it than that. My big project of the last year or two has

There's more to virtualization than just throwing up boxes.
Virtualization gets me higher availability and decouples my server from
any one piece of physical hardware. And, of course, the cost savings are
huge. I've got 64 servers in just 8u of rackspace thanks to
virtualization. Now I not only save tens of thousands on hardware but I
save around $800/mo from not having to rent a second rack.
