I use many smart centers, firewalls, connectra and other software under VMWare Server in my lab and I don't have any "hardware/system" problem with this system.
I support few commerce installation, with smart center under VMWare server/ESX and my client don't have any platform specific problem.
In my opinion the platform is critical for support gateway platform, but on smart center platform (VMWare) have second role.
