It would be one site (or more specifically one customer) per virtual server
where as with individual websites it's 600 customers per physical server.

How is there a savings in either? Hardware wise a virtual server is more
resource intensive than just a website and support wise one customer
requires as much support as one customer, however patch wise a virtual
server would likely take more time to patch than just a regular server
where there is only one copy of the OS..
