I don't rent, I own the infrastructure so can dedicate hardware. Most of my blades are minimum dual duo-core 2.4 and up with 8 to 16GB of memory. Based on what you mention below, sounds like I have plenty of power.
The problem is that even in testing sip servers for example, we've come across plenty of timing issues where the clock would skew and become a problem so have since avoided anything which is real time such as sip or audio/video. This is why I thought it was interesting when I saw this thread as I most definitely like to use VM's when possible because of the benefits in maintenance. Sounds like you don't have any concerns using OM on VM's so I think I'll give it a try. I tend not to overburden blades when doing this because hardware is cheap, complaints aren't.
