The majority of this would be web servers and database servers, content replication, ldap, and email . As well as some windows vm for some vendor specific specialized tasks . In all I have 95 FreeBSD VMs on 3x HP DL380G6, 2x DL 360G5 and 1x ML370G5 servers and about 120 total vm's give or take a few depending on where people are in their cycle of using a vm. --=20 mark saad | nonesuch@longcount.org
