NAS Server and more... - Enquiries - 03-06-2024
Hell,
If you allow me, first, I would like to make a NAS server so that I can save my data but I want to use, for learning and practising , the two architectures: MS server and Debian systems. so that I can configure my NAS with both Win Server and/or Debian (want to use two physical servers: the first, I want to use an ESXi hypervisor to install VMs for different servers: DNS,...and the second one, it will be a NAS server) I want to master both architectures.
After configuring and managing the NAS, I want my NAS to be accessible over the net. So I plan to use a cloud solution and access through an address or an IP.
- If you allow me, I would like to advise me on what to do or what to choose as motherboards for these different tasks.
- is there a solution more simple and effective to realize this project ?
Thank you.

If you're looking for a powerful and versatile solution, you might want to consider the QNAP TVS-h874 NAS. This NAS is equipped with high-performance Intel Core i7 or i9 processors, which are capable of handling virtualization tasks with ease. With the QNAP TVS-h874, you can install Proxmox VE, a powerful open-source virtualization platform, allowing you to run multiple VMs simultaneously.
With Proxmox VE installed on the QNAP TVS-h874, you'll have the flexibility to create and manage VMs running various operating systems, including Windows Server and Debian. Additionally, you can explore other NAS-specific operating systems like TrueNAS or Unraid, all within the same hardware environment.
Alternatively, if you prefer a DIY approach, you could build a custom NAS using similar hardware components and a Jonsbo case. By selecting high-performance components like an Intel Core i7 or i9 processor, ample RAM, and storage drives, you can create a powerful NAS capable of running virtualization software like Proxmox VE or other hypervisors.
