Does this system support Data Execution Prevention and hardware virtualization?
1418597
I currently have the server setup as a RDP server or Terminal Server where 30 call center agents are accessing it with a thin client. I do not think it has required hardware to go with virtual pcs. I think it's lacking the hyper v processor that would be required to do that. I hope this answer helps.

Yes with cirtualization but with Data Execution Prevention if you you mean backups DEP the answer is yes but nothing is 100% safe

Brant,The 2950 has hardware virtualization. When it comes to DEP, the E5440 has an execute disable bit for hardware based DEP and for software based DEP you should look through the support of the OS you are planning to install.

Yes it can. on the 2950 and 2950 - III, for all processors specs from Intel Xeon 50xx Series, Intel Xeon 51xx Series, Intel Xeon 52xx Series, Intel Xeon 53xx Series. Intel Xeon 54xx Series.

I dont think thats a good idea. Processor isnt that much. But i read some forums that they got it working with esxi. Running 2 instances of linux.

I run Linux with VLC which supports only the older MMX style acceleration, not the newer GPU style acceleration, so it needs more CPU power for smooth playback, and this motherboard has the extra CPU horsepower needed to work quite nicely. It plays 1080 very cleanly with no stutter whatsoever at about 50% to 60% CPU utilization under VLC in Linux. In Windows 7 or Windows 8 with the MS Media Player or MPC (Media Player Classic) you should get full GPU acceleration with much lower CPU loads (10% to 15% or even lower). I can't verify those Windows numbers for certain (since am currently only running Linux in this machine) but that's what I see on my Laptop under Win7 with a similar Intel CPU and GPU Chipset. One reason folks like the newer GPU based drivers is that shifting Video decoding to the GPU reduces the CPU load and helps the machine run cooler and use less power during video playback, but with this board that's not as big of concern because the power spec for the Intel 1037U CPU is only 17 Watts TDP, which keeps the power consumption very low during video decoding whether it's being done by the GPU or CPU. So this motherboard should work GREAT in both Linux with CPU based 1080 decoding, and in Windows with GPU based decoding (just as long as you make sure that your hard drive is up to streaming HD video without hicups).

You can, however I would not use it in a production environment. It is extremely slow unless you configure the vm swap file to local storage on the host.

No idea. But I'm pretty sure you can. I would post this question on reddit.com/r/vmware I'm sure someone will be able to help you out.

I have build four systems for clients using this board without any issues. As always make sure you have the lastest BIOS before installing OS.

I'm running about 15 servers off two ESXi hosts with it right now. All my apps are pretty snappy, login times, bootup times, all good. I'm not doing any production with it, but I'm fairly sure this could handle a small business without any problems. It does both NFS and iSCSI, so I have both set up. It can do jumbo frames, vlan tagging, iSNS, thin provisioned luns, lun snapshots. You won't regret this purchase for your lab.

Virtualization is ebabled by default. I am successfully running hyper-v machines daily.

I've installed it.I used the esxi cuatomized by hp. Think it's not officially supported but works ok. No hardware passthrough unless you change the cpu though. Hope this helps. Pls correct me if i'm wrong.

Well... your question is a bit confusing. It is a UEFI bios that has ample features for any kinda of use. I currently use this board as a file server running NAS4Free. Has enough power for most internet use.

probably, but you'll probably have to install a custom bios to bypass the whitelist, if you do so, follow the directions to the t.

No, it uses a special kind of msata which has built in raid controller and also bios is locked to raid mode.

Yes, that will work just fine. I added drives after I started everything to make the startup price not as bad.

Yes this supports iSCSI block access.You can definitely use this for VMWare storage - however I do not recommend this as an enterprise solution - strictly consumer. It may be EMC2 but still consumer based. I do however place my VMware Workstation Virtual Disks on here as I have 2x 1TB SSDs.

I haven't tried any server virtualization OS on the G2020T. There is not Hyper-Threading and I didn't see anything about ESXi support in the technical materials except VT-x.

Yes. I am currently running nearly twice that on it, concurrently, with no issues.

Yes, you must install an OS (Windows or other) before you can run applications. VMWare just sets up the hardware emulation, it does not include operating systems.
