I wouldn't particularly recommend virt-manager once you go above 10
hosts. The UI design isn't well tailored to manging many 100's of VMs,
and the underlying RPC protocol is synchronous and point-to-point, so
doesn't scale to well as hosts are added either.

I think 30-40 hosts is large enough to justify considering a more serious
VM management app like oVirt or OpenStack.
