Hi,
Not sure if this is the right section to post . I need to submit a final year project based on virtualization , it should be of aproxx 10 thousand words . My plan is to install a vmware esxi hypervisor on my existing laptop and then on top of it install multiple OS including Ubuntu ( as host machine ) , PFSense ( for firewalling and NAT working as edge device ) and I will add one more machine working as email server and show that as a file and database server too . I have video trainings from CBT Nuggets , Lynda related to VMWARE virtualization platform so that would be pretty helpful . Note that i wont be installing ESXi on my laptop directly , it has a windows 7 and in that it would have vmware workstation , inside the vmware workstation i would have esxi which would then have all those softwares . My current laptop is Lenevo T400 with 500 GB of HDD and 6GB ram , it has a core2duo 2.2ghz processor i believe , it would be nested VM case I believe .
The examiner did say that I should focus on my own terms rather than going product oriented but I think just a few of the starting section would be of terms and technologies and further it would become product oriented .
Can anyone here please give me some comments , guides , samples . If the above specs of my laptop wont work on this can you please provide me some hosting companies address from where i can rent a dedicated server for a month and make my project , there are a lot of hosting providers out there but i am not sure if they support the installation of vmware exi .
Thanks .
