everything possible was migrated to in-house VMs.
I want to say mail services were an early migration. In any case, the
entire mail infrastructure was run on virtual servers.
There's no need for a physical server.
This is your opinion. We're not trying to determine if a VM is capable
of running *a* mail server. We're trying to determine what the
requirements of *his* mail server are, because that drives whether a
physical server is required.
There may be a security requirement such as "no AES key leakage to
other tenants". In this case, he may not be able to use a VM. There
are people in the crypto community who believe that any system that
needs secure crypto should not be virtualized.
I need a secure crypto system, hence physical. Too much can go wrong
with a virtual system. Who really owns the virtual system? Not you!
The secure crypto requirement was not indicated in your original post.
Provide incomplete requirements and get non-applicable replies.
