Parallels for servers is geared toward large organizations that are mac based but want to do a small scale MS/Linux only software implementation. If this is what you are looking for you really have to ask if the performance penalties you will pay for virtualiztion are worth adherence to a platform. For the cost it is likely you would get better performance from purchasing a dedicated MS box and bundled OS and CALs and would only be worth it if you have a lot of spare CPU cycles and disk space.
What you are probably more interested in is Parallels Virtuozzo Containers. This would be the equivalent of a Mac VMWare allowing several instances of a mac server to run on a single server in isolation. However, AFAIK Virtuozzo only supports Windows and Linux.

Subject: Parallels Server for Mac Experiences
Hi there, Mac Server users....
We are looking at virtualizing of Xserves, and wonder if anyone has experience with Parallels virtual server. We've use their desktop client with success, but not the server version.
Tks.
