Preferably in RAID mode, either 10 or 0, depend on your management and goals, in this example I used 15krpm SCSI HDD’s with dedicated RAID controller. IBM Xseries 3650 XEON Dual Processors with Quad Cores p/pģ.5″ 15krpm SCSI in RAID 10 mode (300GB x 6) (the more Faster drives (like 10-15krpm) you have, the better result you will be able to achieve.

Note: Because of some time shortage, I am just giving you an idea how it can be done, I am not writing in pin point details on how to connect every machine with Virtual/Physical switches.
#MIKROTIK ROUTEROS VMWARE ESXI 6.0 INSTALL#
So in total they required at least 3 physical machines, but I managed to install all of them on single server using Virtualization technology of VMWARE ESXi 5.x (64bit) and it worked so great 🙂 Recently I did an installation of a network where they were low in hardware resources but still they wanted to utilize the benefits of Mikrotik Router OS with external Squid proxy server and also the Radius Billing Server.
It can save considerable amount of power consumption, reduced heat factor, easy to mange multiple VM using various tools like Vcenter / VEEAM (my favorite), VM Explorer, live migrations from one Virtual Server to Another, Backup & Restore becomes very easy and the list goes on. Its a good idea to virtualize various servers so underutilized hardware can be used more efficiently, as now a days, getting good hardware is not a big deal.
