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.
Will this work?

Re: Will this work?
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.
