Server Virtualization
 
We're in the process of designing a failover hotsite for our company, and we're interesting in virtualizing alot of the servers we currently have. Can anyone point me in the direction of documentation that states what kind of horsepower a server should have to support "X" many Oracle or Apache servers?

Almost every search for pertinent info turns up sales pitches and consulting firms.

Thanks in advance...

IBM insights to virtual server hardware sizing.

While I referenced VMWARE for all this stuff, I would imagine no matter what virtualization platform you use he hardware requirements should be similar.
