OT: Run MScanner in a virtualized environment.

Hi guys, i know that it's not recomendable to run MS on virtualized HW
because of it's high cpu/io load. However, i'm doing some research
because my boss required it.

What products do you think that will work best? VMware? Xen? The
objective is that it has to be simple and quick to deploy. Also will
be useful in case the HW dies, so you quickly can have the emails
flowing (may be with delay, but working), until HW gets repaired.

We all know that installing MS servers takes a while, so having a
pre-installed image will reduce times.

Any thoughts?

Everything will be appreciated.

Eduardo.
