Here at $work they have decide to get one server to handle 17+ of my

has some weird Memory configurations. Anyway those two HPs sound like Jet
engines although they are in our NOC I don't hear them.
This server will be running Ubuntu 12.04 LTS with the latest Virtual box
software. It will hold 17 to 20 SCO legacy systems who will get 512mb of
RAM apiece. They are character based without the X system running and the
sessions on there are just Telnet (well ssh) but still very low overhead.
I'm not sure exactly what you're looking for here.
My first reaction is that a 17:1 VM:host is a pretty aggressive ratio, it may
work for you, but it's beyond what I would want to do without testing.
But it sounds like you have the VMs running on a couple of boxes now, so I would
spend time looking at the utilization of those systems (memory, disk I/O, CPU,
and network I/O) to see how big a system you need to comfotably handle them all.
are you looking for recommendations for specific server model numbers?
