Thank you to everyone who went with me on this journey. For me it was
extremely fruitful. I was thinking a vCPU was a thread and therefore
one would need lots of cores and threads to make a Proxmox server. I
can not see that is not the case.
Based on all you good folks have tough me, I assu

That's correct, you should see one

Be very careful with ESX. I know someone who bought a random server and
ESX7 was not supported. It used to run on anything, now, not so much.
Check the support matrix before you buy.

That's right, a vCPU is a shared resource.
Lets say that you had a machine with 4 cores on it. To the operating system,
other than some nuances with the cache, PCI connections, etc., each core is
effectively its own CPU, and therefore we'll say the machine has a total of 4
CPUs. Now, just becua
Hello, I appreciate this topic. I have been wondering for a while now if
there is an affordable home server out there for EXSi and such. Is there any
way for someone to come up with a few choices for people like me? Is there a
low end, mid range, and high end home server for someone to list
Thanks!!
