What to do with my server

svgnamy

Before VPSs and "The Cloud" we invested in two dell tower servers for our small business. Right now, one runs our firewall and a few internal software.

The second runs a pbx. however, I feel like the box with the pbx is not using it's potential. I want to put a virtualization chamber on server one and move the pbx there.

Then I'll have an empty tower server.

What should I do?

I have 4 more ip addresses from our ISP.

I'm not a gamer.

You could offer really low cost (or free) VPS services.

No, seriously - If you don't know what to do with it rather put it on sale.

@wdq I don't have the expertise to set that up :(

svgnamy

if I don't come up with anything, I'll sell it.

Servers for sale? I'm looking for servers for sale :)

You could definitely make a little bit of money off of the unused server if you sell it.

Maybe you can set up a instant messaging solution. Or storage server. Or maybe a second firewall.

The second server will be the backup of the first one. A single physical server without a hot backup is a huge single point of failure. Install the same hypervisor on both servers and set-up some vm replica jobs.
