How to organize a server and Hyper-V in an enterprise?

Question

1C

Good day. I will describe what we have, what we have acquired, and only then what I would like to receive. We need advice on how to do it right (as it is done in the world) and an experienced opinion from the outside. Tabs with information on issues of interest are growing faster than I have time to read.

*** Saying goodbye to the old server:
Network for 80 machines locally (90% XP) and another 20 from outside. Win2003x32 server, without AD and other things, only workgroup and static IP. It has been working for 11 years on an old dual-core Xeon with 4Gb and Hdd-1Tb, 2xLan1Gb+1Lan100Mb. It runs RDP 10-15 clients for 1Cv7 and FoxPro prog, bases right there, file sharing, TrafficInspector, server services such as E-declaration, Business Info and other crap, KasperskyEndpoint.

***Welcome to the new server:
Supermicro X10DRL-I / Xeon 2x2620v4 / 32Gb(DDR4) / GTX1050(2GB) / SSD 256Gb / HDD 4TB / 2xLAN1Gb+1LAN100Mb
*** What is required
1) Terminal (locally and remote via white IP) and local access to databases for 1Сv7 and for old FoxPro programs (and they are only for x32). At the same time, ensure the proper read / write speed, backups.
2) Terminal access as a working client to access the Internet for weak computers.
3) Various services (taxes, legal, etc.).
4) Shaper and control of the workload of trips to the Internet.
*** As I see it. There is no question about licenses, piracy is not checked here.
1. Deploy the Server2016Data host, raise Hyper-V, it has four VMs:

• 1Server2003 (TrafficInspector+Kaspersky),
  
• 2Server2008x32 (RDP 1Сv7 and FoxPro),
  
• 3Server2016 (weak clients+FileStore+Kaspersky),
  
• 4Server2008x32(services).
  

2. Place host and VM on SSD. From 3 HDDs, make RAID5 for databases and files and 1HDD for backups. (spare 1 HDD can be added if needed)
3.

• 1Lan100Mb give 1Srv, ADSL internet on two modems (max 8 mb on each).
• 2Lan1GB under RDP 2Srv and local DB access.
  
• 3Lan1GB for host LAN, 3Srv (clients, network exchange) and 4Srv (services).
  

The enterprise is united by a multiport switch with gigabit ports, the network load on the port of the old server did not rise above 40%.
4. Acronis backups of the host OS, VM, database on the host. Copy them to a working local computer once a month. Work out the situation of emergency deployment of these VMs on a normal working computer (read in depth about clustering).
***What is your opinion on
1. Correctness or redundancy of transferring roles to such VM servers.
2. Option to choose a RAID scheme for operating the OS, VM, storing databases, files, backups or refusing RAID and connect the HDD directly to the VM.
2.1. Using VHDX for database, network files.
3. Is it correct that RDP VM with a connected VHDX c shared database for local users, or is it still RDP to raise on the host, so as not to place databases on a virtual disk.
4. Separation of Lan adapters. Or the union of two gigabytes?
5. Your thoughts on optimization.
Perhaps someone has their own ready-made schemes for such questions, please share your experience.

Answer 1

Why 1050 is not clear. 2 discs for everything, complete nonsense. 2016 data center is not needed if there are licenses for OS 2003 and 2008. Why 2.1 GHz processors...
----
1) Determine the number of available licenses. (OS, RDP)
2) For server 1c you need 2 hhd disks for OS and SSD for bases (ideally RAID 1 for OS and base)
3) For file-balls 1 (raid 1 is better) disk for OS and depending from the load, select disks (sata or sas raid 10)
4) Combine network ports.
5) It is desirable to have a separate piece of hardware for the traffic input to the local network, which would deal with all this.
6) A separate piece of hardware with RAID 1 for storing backups, copies of balls and other necessary information for that very day.
7) It is also desirable to place the remaining VMs, each on its own disk \ raid.
8) The hypervisor OS is MANDATORY on raid 1.

And after all, you will need the 2nd such server to move all the machines there.

Answer 2

Beg your pardon, captain?
Perhaps I do not understand something and Hyper-V does not work like vmware. But I immediately have the following questions:
- (the most obvious) - Nakua 1050 ?? The most zadripan vidyuha will be stored in the server, even an integral, if it is in this supermicro.
- how many seats for screws? Sell ​​1050, fill all places with screws. Hey, you'll need it.
- RAID5 - on 3(!) disks? The effect of high-level raids manifests itself when there are eight or more disks, when you can safely pull out one replacement screw (because in arrays of this type, it is usually either raid6 or raid5e)
- it is not clear, 4Tb is the whole store or 4 disks of 4 Tb each. If the second is still nothing. If the first - well... I still have enough space for a home server :) 4 x 4 Tb in raid10 will give 8Tb of a mirrored store (which of course does not eliminate the need for backups.
- Shaper and blablabla... - it is assumed that on it Will there be a wheelbarrow that connects the Internet? Yes, even on Windows? We sing a song to the madness of the brave ...
- LAN 100Mb is iKVM, not a network card, it can only be used as a host control muzzle
- Critically low memory. on the host for applications, one E5-2630v2 and 1C eats 24G of memory.It is better to lay in memory 64, especially since there are nothing on this mother of slots - 4 per socket.
- Backups in such cases are usually poured onto a shelf like Synology, and they go to the tyrnet through a piece of iron like a microtic or a tsiska (but a tsiska is completely nothing for the price). What for? And so that when the server fell, to be able not to cut into the office, but from home to connect to the host's webmord and steer through the frogconsole
- terminal access for 100 users? how many lanes will one have? Will he watch minecraft cartoons? (where the cubes are redrawn) And even if there is enough for everyone, the server will not drag that much.
In general, there are a lot of questions, in fact, if you write anything, the address is in the profile

Answer 3

According to your classification:
1VM - the gateway itself is placed on the hardware hardware microtik, tplink, cisco, management and billing with 4VM
2VM - in principle, the norms, only the fox will be in the terminal or in the ball? You need to buy and transfer a separate SSD to this machine for
3VM bases - do it on Linux - get rid of Casper, network shnyags, pirated masks and other malware (well, this is provided that 3VM does not strangle 2VM in terms of operative, which you have zilch for 3VM)
4VM - leave it on the old server, if possible, add a couple more gigs of RAM and the backup server role for the first one

Answer 4

it will be rather weak with your Wishlist for 100 users
