What I want to achieve:
ESXi running as a type 1 hypervisor on the physical hardware running the following guests:
1. Mac OS X ⁃ Logic Pro 10 running in the VM (direct pass-through for firewire audio interface) ⁃ CS6 running in the VM (direct pass-through to video card) 2. Ubuntu ⁃ Day-to-day tasks (productivity, internet, email, etc) ⁃ Web server 3. Windows 8/10 ⁃ I was going to run vSphere on this but apparently that won’t be compatible with the latest VMs on ESXi5.5? (Perhaps I’ll use Workstation here to manage ESXi?) ⁃ Work stuff 4. KVM/Hyper-V/ESXi Lab
Logic Pro is the reason the Mac Ecosystem must exist, I could run CS6 on Windows if it wasn’t for that. Because it must exist and I want a very powerful machine without breaking the bank, I will not be buying a Mac - but that should come as no surprise here. I’m willing to get my hands dirty of course, but I want the best performing system with the least amount of work arounds or potential instability. I’d like to not worry much about future releases and updates. Also, they must ALL be guest VMs for the obvious benefits of backups, versatility, snapshots, etc.
Thoughts? Suggestions?
