To put this question bluntly: I am trying to run an add-to-cart service for a product that is in high demand and low supply.
I do not want to outsource proxies and cloud storage/servers to other companies, I rather do it myself.
I'm not super experienced with servers but I've taken a CISCO CCNA crash course before so I kinda understand the basics of running a virtual machine on a server.
What I want to do, long story short, is put together a server machine from scratch that can run Windows Server 2012 R2 and a open source Virtual Machine software.
I want the server machine to have this OS and run the VMWARE, but here is the difficult part: I want the machine to be able to have multiple users access their own virtual sessions at the same thing.
This is because on the release day of the product, I want them to be able to access the Virtual Machine all at the same time using TeamViewer which will be installed on the Virtual OS.
I also want them to be able use a VPN or proxy software to use Google Chrome to add a product to their cart.
Is this possible? Is there some fundamental concept that I'm missing? Will this be possible for exactly 1,000 people? How much RAM and HDD space will I need? Is the set-up below okay for this?
OS: Windows Server 2012 R2
HDD: Seagate 3TB Desktop SATA 6Gb/s 64MB Cache ST3000DM001
Server-class Motherboard: Intel Server Board SSI ATX Motherboard DBS1400FP4
RAM: 8 x 8 GB of RAM
CD/DVD-ROM: Asus Drw-24B1st Black SATA 24x DVD Burner OEM
Power Supply: iStarUSA TC-1U30FX8 20+4 Pin
Video Card: EVGA GeForce GT 720 DirectX 12 O1G-P3-2722-KR
CASE: Cosair Carbide Series Clear 400C Compact Mid-Tower Case (comes with PC Fan)
Thank you so much, I look forward to your responses!
