Are you talking about moving these things to the Microsoft Cloud?

We havent thought of Microsoft cloud yet. We are at the initial stage and planning. At first place we thought of moving the services from physical to VMWare/Virtual PC. What is the best option. Please suggest and how do we plan it?
Moving to the cloud was awesome for us. Its five bucks per user but well worth the maintaining of 80 PLUS

yes, We are planning to Build a VMware on ESX and migrate Exchange 2007 to it. And as per you said is it possible to move whole phy host to VM. If so, let us know on both the cases.

My DBs are not on SAN but on the local drives. The second option suites my setup. Please let me know the procedure which needs to be followed in this case.
