Virtualized Farm ArchitectureCost-effective Virtual Environment / No HAAllows organizations that wouldn’t normally be able to have a test environment to run one
Allows for separation of the database role onto a dedicated server
Can be more easily scaled out in the futureVirtualized Farm ArchitectureCost-effective Virtual Environment / No HA
Virtualized Farm ArchitectureHighly Available Farm with only Two ServersHigh-Availability across Hosts
All components virtualized
Uses only two Windows Ent Edition LicensesVirtualized Farm ArchitectureHighly Available Farm with only Two Servers
Virtualized Farm ArchitectureBest Practice Virtual/Physical with HA/PerfHighest transaction servers are physical
Multiple farm support, with DBs for all farms on the SQL clusterVirtualized Farm ArchitectureLarge Virtual Farms

SharePoint Virtualization Support
Microsoft Support of SharePoint VirtualizationMicrosoft’s official SharePoint support stance is that any SharePoint role or service is supported for hardware virtualization, including SQL Server 2005, SQL Server 2008, or SQL Server 2008 R2. There are only three requirements for virtualization that must be satisfied, these are as follows:Hardware-assisted virtualization, which is available in processors that include a virtualization option—specifically processors with Intel Virtualization Technology (Intel VT) or AMD Virtualization (AMD-V) technology. Hardware-enforced Data Execution Prevention (DEP) is available and enabled.Either deployed on Microsoft Hyper-V (RTM or R2 version) or a validated third-party hypervisor that is part of the Server Virtualization Validation Program (SVVP) – KB 897615
What does this mean for SharePoint on Third party?SharePoint supported on VMware ESX/ESXi, Citrix XenServer, or others in the SVVPThis only covers Hypervisor products, so excludes products such as VMware Workstation or VMWare Server

System Center Virtual Machine Manager (VMM) 2008New version out (VMM 2008 R2)VMM 2008 R2 has P2V (Physical to virtual migration) and V2V (VMware Guest migration to Hyper-V) toolsFor SharePoint, allows for creation of SharePoint template servers that can be quickly provisioned for test farms or for new farm members in productionCan manage both Hyper-V and VMware guests (though must ‘go through’ a Virtual Center server to manage VMware guests.)Self-Service Portal allows end users and remote admins to be able to provision their own virtual machines based on templates

Microsoft Virtualization Guest Licensing ModelGuests can run any combination of downlevel licenses (i.e. Datacenter host, Ent or Std edition guests)Applies not only to OSes running virtualized with Windows Virtualization, but it also applies to 3rd party virtualization as well!
Session TakeawaysUnderstand the architecture options for SharePoint 2010Consider Virtualization for SharePoint, but architect host and guest environments very carefully.Best performance comes from dedicated virtual hosts, dedicated passthrough NICs, and dedicated passthrough disks and by not overcommitting resources.KB897615 outlines MS Support for 3rd Party Virtualization such as VMware and XenServer…Windows Server 2008 R2 Hyper-V technology gives high performance and is a very cost competitive optionMS Licensing has new virtualization support, and Datacenter edition will provide for unlimited guests under a single host.
