The whitepaper based on the presentation from VMworld has been published in the most recent edition of Dell PowerSolutions magazine. The paper has more details on the results from our testing with Exchange 2007 VMs. It focuses on the performance testing and characterization work that we did. The basic conclusions were that performance was acceptable for the 500, 1000, and 2000 user workloads that we tested. Additionally, in order to optimize performance you should only use the number of virtual processors that are needed.

Check out the full details in the paper and comment here if you have any questions or want to share your own experiences with Exchange in VMs.
