Hi,
Please I need your advice for Eve NG + ESXI + NSX on:
- BARE METAL
- for ONE SINGLE USER
- Purpose is for LAB: ESXi and NSX (will interact with other components such as routers)
- Server will have 128G RAM
I have read UD cookbook 1.8 and the minimum requirements for bare metal are:
- supporting IntelĀ® VT-x with Extended Page Tables (EPT)
- Minimum CPU is any Intel Xeon CPU supporting IntelĀ® VT-x with Extended Page Tables (EPT)
I wonder if the 4860 and 2680 are not too old for my needs and if they will be able to keep up with future releases of Eve. (Note: I missed the purchase of the 2650v2, so I have found these CPU)
Please could you tell me if these "old" CPU 4860v1/2680v1 can run Eve + ESXi + NSX compared to 2670v2 ?
Thank you very much.
