Hello
I'm trying to create a developer environment to support a large C#, ASP.NET applilcation that uses:
- Windows Server 2008 R2 (requires at least .5Gb of memory and 1 cpu core)
- SQL Server 2008 R2 (requires at least 1 Gb of memory and 1 cpu core)
- SharePoint Server 2010 (requires at least 4 Gb of memory and 4 cpu cores)
- Microsoft Dynamics CRM Server 2011 (requires at least 2 Gb of memory and 2 cores)
- Microsoft Project Server 2010 (requires at least 4 Gb of memory and 4 cores)
In addition, I need to install Visual Studio 2010 Professional that requires at least 2.5 Gb of memory and 1 core.
Assuming that I have an I7 processor with 16 Gb of memory, what is the best strategy for using Virtualbox in order to have a fast development environment? How many Virtualboxes should I use and how much memory and cpu cores should I allocate for each Virtualbox and which servers and applications should I install in each Virtualbox?
Thanks in advance!
