Virtualization Profiler - Is virtualization right for my servers?

[rt7500]

Looking for a product, script, anything to help gather info about my physical servers to help determine if virtualizing them is a good idea.

I am already aware of PlateSpins PowerRecon.

But looking outside of the box.

Custom reports in Altiris??

BMC Patrol??

Custom scripts, etc.

Let me know what you are doing to solve this question.

We use http://www.zenoss.com/ which is open source.

Powerrecon will be tailored more for profiling your estate where as MOM/BMC/Zenoss will rely on you inspecting data on the Four main areas of CPU/RAM/NIC and DISK.
