I use VM's whenever possible, even if it's a 1:1. Moves/upgrades are simply
much easier. I'd run 2VM's if licensing isn't an issue.

I've recently helped a company build out several branch offices and one to
deploy a remote datacenter.
We virtualized everything. Absolutely everything.

Yea, run VM's. No reason not to and lots of little reasons
We have two ESXi hosts and an external drive array for even the small
offices with 1-3 guests. Windows 2012 wasn't out in the release cycle for
hardware refresh and we have a large ESXi install base now. We're looking
at HyperV but change is slow if at all :)
Getting Engineers onsite if there
Personally I would go the one physical running Hyper-V and two virtual servers
splitting the work. Unless you prefer to go the VMware route and do the same.
I would take the free version of VMware and save the money. I have never had
or heard of any good experiences with running a
I probably sound like a broken record, but what requirements and constraints do
you have?
E.g. I did a project to deploy something like this to ~600 branch sites. In
that case, the SCCM, AD, File Print and Wintel teams are all separate, so
that was a key consideration in designing the end
I'll add that if you can... Look into the Cisco 3945. You can put a UCS
blade with plenty of RAM, disk and processor, 48 port POE switch and T1,
ADSL or 4g cards in it. I call it network in a box or NIB. Sweet setup and
simplifies things.
