Absolutely agree with you, planning is the best thing to do, but normally people want a plug'n'play system with all included, because there is not much time to think and planning, and there are many companies that know how to take advantage of this people characteristics. Any way, I think another solution for dedup is FreeNAS using ZFS.

Everything depends on your needs, design planning. Maybe then sharing disk would be better to share via NFS/iscsi. Of course if you have many VMs each of them is different you will fail. But if you have mostly homogeneous environment you can think about this approach. Sure you have to have plan for upgrading "base" "static" shared OS data, you have to have plan how to install additional software (different destination than /usr or /usr/local)... If you already have your own build host which builds for you OS packages and you have already your own plan for deployment, you have done first steps. If you depend on upgrading each machine separately from Internet, then first you should plan your environment, configuration management etc. Well, in many times people do not do any planning, they just think some good technology would save their "poor" design. j.
