Guys,
I am planning to install vMCD for testing/learning purposes at the office, Mitel has got a vMCD DEMO kit for a reasonable price for partners.
I have no idea where to start with VMware, don't even know how to select a server capable of hosting VMware application.
Questions are as follows:
1. Is the DELL Power Edge R410 OK for testing vMCD?
2. Is the Intel Xeon E5530 OK?
3. 6GB RAM, 250 GB Hard Disk and SATA DVD? I will only be running one Virtual Machine.
4. How many NICs do I need? Will it be OK with the two embeded ones(1G)that come with the server?
5. What do I need to download from VMware site? ESXi and VSphere Client? Are they free? I don't need the full version on VMware, just need the minimum required for installing vMCD.
Thanks very much, Regards,
Daniel
