Description
Why Buy this Server
This is for a business that is converting existing servers to either VMWare
VSphere ESXI or Microsoft Hyper-V and plans to host this server in an equipment
rack or hosting centre.
This will also be suitable for a new business wanting to establish a number of
separate virtual machines on a single computer or host.
What's Included
This is an 8 core single processor server with 64 GB RAM. An array controller
and three 900 GB SAS drives (approx. 1.8tb available) are included. A second
(redundant) power supply is also included. An additional processor may be added
to expand to 16 cores and both RAM and disk may also be expanded.
We build the server in our configuration centre and pre-install either VSphere
ESXi or Microsoft Hyper-V. Licenses for VMWare VSphere, Windows and other
operating systems must be migrated or purchased separately.
The server also includes a keyboard and mouse and monitor.
The server includes 3 year on-site warranty with next business day response in
metropolitan areas.

WINDOWS HOST ENVIRONMENT |
VMWARE HOST ENVIRONMENT |
|||
We offer licenses for Windows server Standard and Windows Server Datacenter. Each Windows Server Standard license provides for up to 2 virtual machines. Windows Server Datacenter provides for Unlimited Virtual Machines on one host.
Hyper-V hypervisor may be used to host multiple instances of Windows Server or Windows Desktop. These virtual machines must be Windows Server 2012, 2008 or Windows desktop operating systems (XP-Win10). There is limited support for Server 2003 (not SBS). See: https://technet.microsoft.com
Each copy of Windows Server Standard supports two virtual machines. If a large number of virtual machines are planned Windows Server Datacenter which supports unlimited virtual machines may work out more cost effective.
We generally recommend Microsoft versions of Windows Server rather than OEM copies despite the additional cost. The main reason behind this is that the OEM copies are licensed to a particular physical server whereas the Microsoft licenses may be migrated to other servers.
|
VmWare Essentials and VMWare Essentials plus provide a managed virtual environment for an unlimited number of virtual machines on up to 3 hosts each with up to two processors.
VMWare VSphere Essentials Plus is designed for mission critical servers and includes vMotion, High Availability, Data Protection, vShield Endpoint and vSphere Replication. To make the most of this environment you will require at least two physical servers linked by a dedicated high speed network. This software is available with 1 or 3 year of software upgrades and support. We recommend the 3 year maintenance option.
After purchasing VSphere Essentials you may license and run any combination of Windows, Linux, Unix, OSX, Netware (and more) virtual machines. See: VMware_GOS_Compatibility_Guide.pdf
