Will this work?

Post by KRL »

Hey guys,

I have some employees at work that will need to access a new accounting software from their homes. The software runs in Windows and requires an MS SQL Server. My boss ordered a new Mac Pro Server and wants me to run Windows as a guest. It doesn't end there. He also wants to relocate our email and web server as guests on Mac Pro as well. We've been hosting our email and web servers in-house on an old noisy Dell Poweredge 2950 and now my boss wants to put all three OS's on one machine. We have 1 Static IP's assigned to our company but can get more if needed.

Will this setup work? I mean 3 VM's should be accessible from the internet on different ports - MS SQL, smtp/imap and h t t p / h t t p s.

I know that OS X Server has a mail server built in but I'm unfamiliar with it and find it easier to configure Linux box from the scratch, unless of course the above is not feasible and I have to use the OS X mail server.

I hope I explained what I want. English is not my first language, sorry and thank you.

All of what you are trying is doable. Not really sure why the Mac server but that's none of my concern. The only thing that I see is resources. Hopefully you have enough.
