Oh ok... I downloaded the document, I see what they're saying now. They're talking about CPU limitation of virtual servers guest operating environment. VMware (free version) limits you to 2 cores (not sure what the commercial edition limits are, probably 6 or 8), Microsoft Hyper-V limits you to 4 cores. Either way you slice, you're going to need multiple virtual application servers to handle the processing load. I really want to know why you'd even consider doing this? Future expansion planning? You do realize you'd have to setup a load balancer or DNS round-robin (the crappy way of doing load balancing) for your clients to connect to that many application servers.
