Advice on consolidating our servers please?

by andy.moore . Updated 19 years, 7 months ago

Hi,

I am looking to consolidate 6 servers in to one at work.

The spec of each current server isn’t too high and is as follows,

1 Ghz AMD Duron CPU
512Mb Ram
40 GIG HD
Windows 2000 Pro SP4

1.67 Ghz AMD Athlon CPU
1 gig Ram
162 Gig HD
XP Pro SP2

450 mhz Pentium 3 CPU
256 Mb Ram
18 Gig HD
Windows 2000 Advanced Server SP4

Dual 933 Mhz Pentium 3 CPU
1 Gig Ram
145 Gig HD
Windows 2000 server, small business server SP4
(this is the PDC)

2.8 Ghz Intel Xeon CPU
1 Gig Ram
72 Gig HD
Windows 2000 Server SP4

633 Mhz Intel Celeron
256 Mb Ram
20 Gig HD
Windows XP Pro Sp2

I want to run all of the above as virtual servers from one main server. Can anyone advise on the spec that would be required for the above as virtual servers?

What’s the best OS to use on the main server that will house the virtual servers?

Any specific brands or model to recommend for the consolidated server?

Any other advice or related information?

Thanks
