Virtualization requires more hardware to be thrown at it. Since your are
running the Applications within an operating system it requires beefier CPU
and more memory.

I think it really depends on your load. A client of mine has a 1500+
account Exchange installation and everything there is virtualized. I
think it just depends on your infrastructure, hardware, load balancing, etc.
I haven't reached that much volume, however, to know myself how that
pans out.
Also, RAID 10 is better for IO intensive operations than 5.
