Others would probably have additional information, but one of the issues you have to be aware about is that if your physical machine is over capacity, the virtual instance may become resource limited. In other words, if you have another VM that's a CPU or IO hog then your FS VM may run into call audio issues. That said I've run FS in a KVM virtual environment for a few years and that has gone very well.

In setting up a PBX to run FreeSwitch, I have allocated a machine that is overpowered, so the best use of this resource is to put a hypervisor such as Xen on it, and make it available for other office uses.
Is there any reason why running FreeSwitch on a VM is a bad idea?
