Virtualisation is good for flexibility... for example take the OS 
running the web services down while keeping the CS server live... or 
running different environments, i.e. CS server running on testing, web 
services on stable. From a performance angle you need a bunch of extra 
ram, disk and processor time to do the same amount of useful work.

There are pro's and there are con's...
