It's my impression that in many areas virtualization gets introduced not because of technical reasons but because of political pressure.In our case I wouldn't necessarily call it political pressure ... it's more like organizational pressure. We have fewer personnel resources than we used to, and have to run more systems with them!
and every time you introduce virtualization you introduce an additional system that you need to run.
remember that you need to admin all the virtual machines, just like you would if they were on their own physical boxes, plus you now need to admin the host OS.
