Demo Box for Small Business Scenarios

-

i interested in configuring demo machine (imho) demonstrate vm scenario allow high value smb (5-25 high value professionals) consolidate relatively complete ms infrastructure on single server. end i have acquired requiste hardware , rc1 available want take first pass @ this. here initial thoughts on would want do:

  • install servercore enterprise following roles: 
    • hyper-v
    • dns
    • dhcp
    • ad
  • add 2 virtual machines:
    • vm1:  windows 2003 x64 support exchange 2007
    • vm2:  windows 2008 web edition intra/extranet functionality.
  • the questions:
    • am on right track?
    • need sql server someplace - vm advisable, if 32 or 64, 2003 or 2008?

any thoughts appreciated...

i reviewed essentials/centro product info available , given angle coming from, know/think possible install package 3 vms on servercore+h-v.

 

yes, considerations due both hyper-v , webs (centro) both still beta products.

 

1. need second physical machine same w2k8 server hyper-v build installed to manage vm's remotely on 'server core' machine operating system has tools remotely manage hyper-v vm's cannot create/build/manage vm's directly on server core , must done remote server "remote hyper-v mmc console" installed.

 

2. requirements each of webs vm's in regard ram , cpu usage quite high , 'might' able , running 8gb of ram. 3gb messenger server, 3gb management server, 1gb edge server , 1gb host server core machine. still quite tough ideally mess , mgmt servers 4gb each , bit more edge server , leftover host. 12gb ram make things run bit smoother , quad core cpu's would get enough cpu cycles vm's. ideally want 16gb ram , dual quad-core's disk sub-system run of this.

 

3. 1 & 2 above stated , 'beta' side of things running beta software on beta software has multitude of fun waiting happen. hyper-v , 'integration components' guest vm's needing installed ensure have highest performance possible may take time before version of the 'integration components' available work builds of webs due different stages of development each product at. once 3 products (w2k8, hyper-v , windows essentials) rtm should have no problem though timeframe rtm release dates of hyper-v , webs anyones guess @ stage.

 

cheers,
