Thanks for the advice, I will look into it as part of the overall development.

Only suggestion is make sure you look into the advanced Hyper-V management tools if you believe think that you might add in another hypervisor later on. This will enable some similar features that VMWare offers.

You will be surprised how fast it gets used. Our environment is licensed for around 35 users and 905 our RAM usage went up from 8 gig to 12 gig. Going 16 gig RAM on the hypervisor isnt going to leave you a lot of space for other virtual machines.
