okay so one of my clients is a lawyer that gave me a really small budget to work with. I have a full time job I just help this guy out whenever. with that being said right now i have him on an aging 6 year old physical box running (cringe) small business server 2008 utilizing exchange 2007. I am wanting to go virtual with the next build. I currently have 1 PE 1950 III with 2x X5460's 32gb ram and 3x146gb raid5 I can load VM 5.5u2 on. I have a 2nd PE 1950 III I can load with exact same config but the only drawback is shared storage for 2 VM hosts. I have old servers laying around and was thinking about using them for shared storage. I have a few PE 2850's (6 hdd bay's) would someone suggest a best use for shared storage or would it be more reliable just getting a qnap or synology for shared storage?
also I only plan to run 4-5 vm's in total. 1 exchange/1 DC/1 app server/1 RDS/ 1 misc server
