Personally i'm a fan of VMware ESXi. Theres a free version, VMware have a conversion tool for an easy P2V (Physical to Virtual) conversion of your existing server. ESXi is fairly simple to use as well. I second Electronics Wizardy's sentiment. Make sure you actually want to use a hypervisor since its a single VM. Whats the advantage of running it under a hypervisor for you? What considerations do you need to make for hardware with such a setup? To get the ball rolling, if you did want to go ESXi: You would need to check compatibility/support for your 10gbE adapter (unless you're going to passthrough the 10gbit nic to the VM). You would also need to get a proper RAID card (e.g a LSI-9260-8i or similar) that is supported by VMware, You need to create your Datastore for your VM OS Disks, and your Data storage (or consider if you want to passthrough physical disks and create a software raid in Windows) If you decide on something like Proxmox, that supports ZFS but you have to do configuration from the CLI. This uses KVM/QEMU for the hypervisor though. Not sure why you would have been experiencing performance issues, perhaps to do with the machine version you were running for your VM template?
We faced a hardware issue in January. While I was working to acquire the necessary equipment, I had to bring everyone home—just 2-3 people, not a large team. If we had used a virtualized setup with Ubuntu and KVM installed on almost any machine, things would have been much faster. I could have set it up on any nearby computer and had it running quickly, even if performance was slow. The main problem seems to be storage, possibly due to RAID cards and KVM configuration settings. I’m still learning virtualization, so I should expect some limitations. How do you think the disk speeds in those images compare? Thanks for your input! Unfortunately, I’ll have to wait before testing changes, as it would mean a full server overhaul and I’m still on schedule for my current project. I’ll keep you updated.
