The 9th generation server were the first servers to support 64bit VM's and virtualization technology. The 2850 unfortunately doesn't. You can install VMware and such, but it won't be functional for virtualization,.
The 2850 is a 64-bit machine, however, the processors simply do not support VT, which is required for the latest hypervisors and to run 64-bit VM's. You can use ESXi 3.5, which doesn't require VT, but it will be limited to 32-bit guests.
