Well, virtualization under Xen or VMware requires a host as well. It's something of the same chicken & egg question you deal with when it comes to load balancing. i.e., what good are all those redundant servers behind a single [point of failure] load balancer?


At some point, most systems have at least one single point of failure, even if it's the NIC or patch cable.
