If An organisation has two hypervisor servers, each with the following specifications:
64GB RAM
2TB LUN attached via iSCSI
Intel Xeon 4110 8 core/16 thread CPU
They want to virtualise 30 Windows 2016 servers, 150 Debian servers and a FreeNAS file server.
The FreeNAS server would also be allocated a separate 64TB LUN via iSCSI to share with the network as NAS storage.
Do you think that their current server infrastructure can handle the load?
What specific requirements should this organisation take into account when deciding whether or not to purchase new hypervisor servers?
Would you advise the organisation to pool their hypervisors together as a distributed system or keep them as separate servers? Why/Why not?
