Ok I am building a server and want to be able to run multiple "vm's" or "Servers" from the same server. I would like to be able to run atleast 4 seperate OS's on the server. Ubuntu, Win Server 2008 r2, maybe Debian or other form of linux/windows. I have heard of some "operating system" like programs that run as the base of the server which then allow for Virtual Machines to be run off of it.
I am really new to the whole virtual server idea but I really like how it sounds.
Please ask any questions so I can clarify things or be helpful. I would love if someone could let me know if I am even remotely close to understanding this. I would prefer to not have to use windows as the main os and instead have it be ran from a vm.
As far as I understand the ideas below are all possible:
-Windows running as a vm with space on the hard drives, own NIC( Mac Address etc.), Remote Desktop
-Ubuntu server running with access to its own NIC, access to hard drives, etc.
-All vms would share the hardware resources and show up on the network etc.
Thanks in advance for any help!
here are the server specs(I am making two of them that's why everything is doubled)
