I assume you don't have the option of getting rid of them.
Power (and cooling), admin salary etc are the dominant cost
of older machines and you're not getting a lot of compute
out of them.

you're discussing function here - you want your machines to
look like one machine to the outside world

you're discussing implementation here - I don't understand
these two lines and I don't know the connection to the
function described above.
Do you want the single machine (the sum of all machines?) to
then run multiple VMWares?
