VSYS can come in handy in certain situations where you really should have multiple different firewalls, however for budgetary reasons only one is available.
A good example of this is in County Courthouse buildings. I generally had three different VSYS running on those boxes. One for the Sheriff office connecting through the BCA network; one for the DOJ connections for the actual judicial folks; and one for the rest of the County employees that simply hopped onto the state network. Instead of having three different firewalls in the rack, I could deploy a single firewall with multiple different VSYS and meet all regulatory requirements of sperating out the traffic.
