Hi Arnau,
Since about a year we run nearly all (gLite) services at Nikhef in
virtual machines: UI, lcg-CE, MON, BDII top, BDII site, LFC (local), DPM
server, WMS, LB, Torque/Maui, Nagios, Ganglia, ldap. We only did not
virtualize the worker nodes and DPM disk servers. We use
para-virtualized Xen hosts and we did not experience performance problems.
Cheers,
Ronald
