Unused servers

[Daniel Sanford]

In our program we were utilizing several servers for hosting vms through VMWare on GNS3. However we recently had to stop due to the increase in VMWare licensing costs. So, now we have several servers that are essentially unused. We are considering other types of vm software, but I wanted to see if I could get any good ideas of how we could utilize them outside of VMs to help with student learning. Any input would be appreciated.

I was going to say: you could always just make Proxmox clusters out of them.

I also always have one really old clunker, that's still complete, laying about so I can show my students "just what exactly IS a server?". Doesn't matter that the R720 is 12-15 years old, the concepts still apply.
