For a project I am trying to get real-life estimates for the number of virtual machines per server, both typically and maximally.

Of course, the maximum number of VMs would be depending on the type of applications (disk intensive, network intensive, ...), and server hardware (like number of cores, memory, ...), but still it would be useful to know if a typical maximum is about 10, 20 or 30 VMs per server.

Can anybody give practical numbers?
