Hi there. I manage several virtual machines on older G8 HP Proliant DL380 servers. I’m considering upgrading to 1U racks with custom components like AMD CPUs, DDR5 RAM, and four NVMe SSDs in RAID 10. Using ESXI or Proxmox as the hypervisor sounds promising. What hardware options would work best? What would you recommend? Thanks!

unless you really need it, skip the 1U.

2U works, but I'm focusing more on the physical components and choosing the right specifications.
