While I can't be sure what all that garbage means in relation to the original post, the bottom line is simple.
Mac OS X Server has very poor support for virtualisation because you can't run OS X Server on another host OS. This means that putting it into a mixed environment of Linux, Windows and other operating systems that are already virtualised on VMware ESX, Xen or even KVM is going to be impossible. Like it or lump it, that's where your server OS needs to run nowadays. OS X Server is thus restricted to Mac only server environments, and there are precious few of them.
In view of that, the majority will take the route provided by the only decent point made in your post (via the scenic route): Don't use OS X Server as a host or as a guest, and don't use OS X Server full stop.
