Lease dedicated hardware for a virtualization environment, or choose a hosted virtual machine. Plan hypervisor compatibility, licenses and resource allocation around the workloads you want to run.
Lease a VM or build your own VM host.
A hosted virtual machine allocates resources from a shared host platform. A dedicated virtualization server gives you a physical machine on which to operate your own compatible hypervisor and virtual machines. The choice determines who manages the host, how resources are assigned and where isolation boundaries sit.
Plan your VMware ESXi environment.
Discuss the ESXi version, server model, CPU, storage controller and network adapters you need. Hardware compatibility and licensing must be checked for the proposed configuration. Share any existing VMware environment you need to connect or migrate; software licenses and availability are confirmed separately.
Size the host before the virtual machines.
Account for the hypervisor and operational overhead as well as guest workloads.
| Requirement | What to plan |
|---|---|
| CPU | Review guest concurrency and the physical cores available to the host. |
| Memory | Allocate memory for each guest plus the hypervisor and reserve capacity. |
| Storage | Plan datastore capacity, I/O demand, controller compatibility and backup storage. |
| Networking | Define virtual networks, management access and physical uplink requirements. |
| Availability | Plan recovery if the physical host fails; a single dedicated host is not a multi-host availability cluster. |
Other virtualization options.
Xen-based virtualization is another option to discuss. Share your preferred hypervisor, version and hardware requirements with the team so compatibility, licensing and availability can be reviewed for your deployment.
Operate and recover the whole environment.
Decide who will patch the host, maintain guests, monitor capacity and restore virtual machines. Include backup consistency, configuration exports and recovery testing in the plan. ServerPronto supports the leased hardware, with additional management services available to discuss.
Dedicated resources. A low monthly lease.
Keep upfront costs low while retaining full control of your software environment. Your dedicated-server lease includes hardware support and replacement of failed components under our replacement policy. Compare current packages, then review software options, licenses and the final total in the configurator.
A few practical answers.
Is a VMware license included?
License requirements depend on the selected software and agreement. Confirm licensing and any additional charges as part of your proposal before ordering.
Can I run several virtual machines on one dedicated server?
Yes, when the selected hardware and hypervisor support the design. The number and size of VMs depend on CPU, memory, storage, networking and the resources each workload requires.
