Hi,
After trying to run ESXi on my laptop within a VM and having not much success, I have opted to just take the plunge and puts some cash down to get a half decent machine that will help me on my way to a virtual lab.
I've seen a HP machine with the below specs.
- Intel Core i7-2600 3.4GHz 2nd generation processor
- 8GB DDR3 (PC3-10600) memory
- 500GB 7200rpm hard drive
I want to run at the very least
- Cisco Unified Callmanager 7.1
- Cisco Unity Connection 7
Would like to then eventually add
- Cisco Unified Contatct Centre
- Microsoft Windows Server 2008 - Active Directory
Just want to know if the above machine would be a good starting point, could then look to upgrade say RAM or harddrive.
Nish
