We are looking to buy a HP new server which will run VMWare Esx4i. I wanted to find out what would be the ideal server and specifications needed.
The server will run 3 to 4 virtual machines, one which one will be a win2K3 domain controller, one will be MS Great Plains, one a light weight machine and the fourth VM will be MS Win2K3 Terminal server.
How much memory should I be doing at? What about the array controller, and Hard drive setup (RAID 5, RAID 1) etc.
Thanks in advance
Solved! Go to Solution.

Re: Ideal HP server and spec's to run VMWare Esx4i
I would absolutely go for a machine withe the Nehalem CPU - All x55xx CPU's.
Depending on the projected load on the VM's you wish to run - buy memory accordingly.
A DL360G6 or DL380G6 would most likely be the best buy.
One important thing is to buy a BBWC module for the array controller.
If you don't need lots of disk space i would choose a RAID 1 setup.
Regards
