We've got a pure Exchange 2007 environment running on VMWare, and it
functions just fine for us. The migration from our physical system was
flawless - however we built an entirely new virtualised AD structure at the
same time, which may or may not have helped with the smooth migration
process.

I am, I virtualized E2k7 and moved about 225 mailboxes from our Physical E2k3
box. I have had no issues whatsoever with the VM portion, E2k7 is another
kettle of fish altogether, I think it's time to go out and purchase a book.

You can either use VMware's HA or Exchange's HA - but not both.
Note that that is the Microsoft support position and not VMware's.
Exchange 2007 works just fine in a virtualized environment. I've got a
number of deployments out there. Depending on I/O requirements and I/O

Btw All VMware HA gives you is single point of failure protection at the
ESX host level. If the host where the exchange VM lives crashes all the
guests living on that host get booted and powered on in another host in
the cluster

IMO the only concern for
and mailbox numbers
compared to those who have trillions of users! :p

I'm assuming you guys are keeping your mailbox stores on a SAN or something?
Also, do you run your VM's off SAN/NAS?

multiple mailbox, ht, and cas all virtualised with ESX servers in different

Yep separate luns for databases and logs on our fibre channel san.

We did for testing, and still do run some servers as virtual for CAS and Edge

It's been pretty reliable. Mailbox servers didn't seem to scale well in a
virtural environment.

I'm running Exchange 2007 virtualized with Hyper-V for around 500 mailboxes and
80-GB stores, and it works fine. I hate to make assumptions, but I'm thinking
it might be safe to assume that it would perform similarly with VMWare.

I would actually bet that it would perform quiet well on VMWare.

I've been running Exchange 2007 on Windows 2003 in ESX since May 2007 with zero

I recently installed Exchange 2007 on Windows 2008 in ESX at a customer's site

We have customers here in the UK that have deployed E2K7 totally on virtual
servers (VMware). Other (larger) customers have deployed Hub/CAS on
virtual, mailbox on physical, etc. All good news as far as I'm aware (as
long as it's designed correctly of course!)
