Thanks all for the helpful insights. We're running OTRS on AWS/EC2 on
Centos right now backing up daily to S3. I may be able to get another
machine out of my boss dedicated to monitoring. And I really shouldn't
blame my boss. I'm the one primarily responsible for managing our
cloud. In fact, I pushed for OTRS because I was sick of dealing
constance emails and IM's for new machines, etc, etc.
Thanks again,
James

Exactly this. It (virtual machines) also makes cloning the production
instance for upgrades ( especially major updates ) which is a LOT
safer. If we can over time move ALL the configuration stuff into the
database, it'll be even more handy. VMware ESXi is plenty good enough
for this application, even standalone without vCenter.
Also, with Microsoft making hyper-v easily available, you don't have
the argument about virtualization costs, and you don't have to have
the 'must run on windows' argument either -- look, the machine boots
windows.... :)
I still prefer VMware, but, if the choice is hyperv or no
virtualization, I'll live with hyperv.
In any case, you'll be a lot happier if you at least separate the
database from the application. Lots less weird interactions.

I have two VMs running under Hyper-V 2012 R2 (free) on Ubuntu 12.04.3
(free) with one running the MySQL portion (free) and the other
running the Apache processes (free). It allows me to conserve
resources and configure individual server instances so that there is
one server for one process. Much easier to maintain and repair.
