We use VMWare extensively for development of our database automation software - its great for windows and Linux. We are currently piloting moving whole swaths of our infrastructure over to VMWare Server, and we expect we'll be able to run approximately 8x the number of virtual machines as physical. It works quite well with RAC, though I would recommend using iscsi or a certified NAS platform, rather than trying to share a disk file or something like that.

Thanks,
Matt
