Hi Bryan,

We use VMware for everything except NFS and Database (Oracle). Our 10 
application nodes (6gb heaps, RHEL x86_64) and 4 web frontends work 
great under vSphere 4 with the latest tools.

Have you looked at the production deployments JIRA tickets? You'll 
probably find a lot more detail there:

Cheers,
