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.
