Hey Brian,

We have a customer that has virtualized 10 media servers and haven?t seen any issues with performance. The master is a physical server.

Two things I can immediately think of: Resource contention of the VMs and any features that move the VMs around to optimize resources (VMware does this with Distributed Resource Scheduler [DRS]).

Unless it?s a pretty small domain, and there isn?t a need to virtualize, I would opt for physical servers. Maybe I?m just a traditionalist.

I work for Sony Playstation and we are moving a racked stand-alone Master & Media server configuration to a new data center.
I am on version 7.1 and am considering virtualizing the entire infrastructure. Has anyone successfully done this yet and did you run into any gotchas?

Regards

Brian
