HP ML110 G5 Server
Looking for a home-server to get some hands on experience with ESXi ?
HP has a pretty neat server wich is fully supported by VMware.
The HP ML110 G5 is a Dual-Core intel machine.
Out of the box it comes with 1 Gb of Ram, so that’s something you want to upgrade to at least 4 GB or probably fill this baby up to 8 GB.
The standard harddrive is 250 Gb, should be enough for testing, but of course can be swapped for a 1 TB drive.
