Hardware configuration

[h3nno]

Good Evening,

I was hoping for some advise in setting up a HP Microserver N54L. I wish to achieve the following.

Server hardware:

• 4 x 3TB HDD
• 8GB RAM
• *OPTIONAL* RAID Controller
• *OPTIONAL* 120B SSD

Goal:

• Host a NAS
• Host IMB Domino 9 - ( only supported on redhad & SUSE )
• Host DNS
• Host FTP server ( part of FreeNAS ) Does FreeNAS support FTP client too?
• Host web server
• Host torrent client ( ideally utorrent )

Ideally FreeNAS plugin jail would support the additional services, understandably it doesn't.

What is the best option to achieve my desired configuration?
I understand it is not advised to run FreeNAS on a virtualized system - If I were to install ESXi 5.1 on the 120GB SSD and run redhad ( IBM Domino and notes storage files .nsf ) & FreeNAS allowing FreeNAS to manage 4x 3TB HDD's with the ZFS file system what would be cons?

Is there a plugin similar to wine that will allow me to run redhat / SUSE applications from the jail?

Finally is there any way to run FreeNAS on top of / concurrently with redhat without virtualization?

If my goals cannot be accomplished ( or close to ) will it be more cost effective to purchase a prepackaged NAS?


Thanks,

Clearly I won't be using FreeNAS to achieve my desired solution.
