Hi all,
I have about 3 server at home that I'm trying to place in one machine. It looks like the best and most secure way would be to use them as a virtual machines on one powerful box.
I'm trying to figure out what kind of hardware I would need. I'm not looking for anything performance crazy, but also not too laggy. Is there any way that I can precisely estimate the hardware or is it all by good guessing?
This is what I'm looking to have on my setup:
=> Server Acting Roles (OS Ubuntu Server)
- File-Server
- VM-Server
----------------
=> VMs needed (4)
- Web-ftp Server - OS Ubuntu Server
- XP for light use - OS XP
- Ubuntu desktop for Internet browsing - OS Ubuntu Desktop
- SSH, squid, music streaming (Jinzora) - OS Ubuntu Server (this could also be run on host server instead if better)
More information on Web-Server work load I have right now
