At my work, we use KVM for many things:

* DOMINO mail server running on a virtual MS2003 server
* Phone central SW on virtual XP desktop
* some virtual desktops running XP for legacy apps
* 3 MySQL DB servers for testing applications
* Arago/OpenEmbedded filesystem builder server
* Nagios server
* Alfresco server
* ISPConfig server (web hosting)
* Redmine server (git)
* GLPI server

And ever increasing...
And ever working properly (till now ;-)...
