Hi, recently I came across a deal on a bunch of Dell PowerEdge 2850 servers and I was hoping to use them to run Debian with Xen to provided virtualization support for Windows 2003 and other Debian installations.  I was hoping to install 2 copies of Windows 2003 as well as 2 copies of Debian all on top of the DOM0 Debian installation.

 

The servers have dual 3.2ghz CPU’s and include 16GB of ram with plenty of disk space.

 

Can I accomplish this or should I avoid the 2850’s and look for something else?

 

Here is CPU info for one of the 4 cores –

 

processor       : 0

cpu family      : 15

model           : 4

model name      : Intel(R) Xeon(TM) CPU 3.20GHz

fpu_exception   : yes

bogomips        : 6390.01

clflush size    : 64

Any help or insight would be greatly appreciated!

 

Thanks:  Joseph Campisi
