I would suggest use Citrix Xen Server along with Citrix Xen Center instead of vmware. (Its free.) Yes it is good idea to use virutalization. Your existing hardware is good enough to handle your suggested traffic.
I am using lower that that.

My settings only have 10-15 sms-services, have connected a maximum of 5 SMC's, stores all delivery reports and sent sms's in MySQL database. Daemons running are: Bearerbox, smsbox, sqlbox, and smppbox. No WAP Push or OTA services are present. I only have one available server system for two purposes: Kannel Server and rsync Push File Server. (Note: The rsync push server it's a CDR -Call Detail Record- Server that pushes CDR files to remote entities.) Dell PowerEdge 2970 - 2x Quad Core AMD Opteron 2.2GHz 4x512K Cache - 8GB 800MHz, Dual Ranked RAM - 3x 500GB 7.2K RPM SATA 2.5-in Hard Disk - PERC 6/i, x8 (RAID-5) - Redundant Power Supply My boss asked me to try to deploy Kannel in the same CDR Server, so I am thinking in try the "VMware vSphere", that way I could have two virtual servers running in the same system: CDR and Kannel Servers. Please advice: - Is this a crazy idea? - Do you recommend to have the LAMP server running in the same Kannel server? or is better to have two independent servers? Thanks a lot!! Aldo Zavala
