it is already enormous overshoot in hardware specs. And i do not
really catch why you have "4 in parallel" servers.
And finally i cannot understand this dividing of servers just to
merging it back using VMWare.
because it is a big difference if you have anything in a single
machine or splittet in virtual machines - you can move them at
runtime to different hosts and if you run out of ressources
for one of them you can buy a phyisclal machine, add it to the
cluster and move the virtual machine without any downtime
if you have all on one machine or VM you are not scaleable
Personally I found going from real hardware E51xx servers to E56xx
servers to give double the performance per same speed and amount of
cores for my mail server. Then moving it onto vmware slowed it down
approx 15%.
Overall still a let win, and using vmware for extra HA and easier
maintenance is deferentially worth the slowdown.
