Hi, I have a laptop with the following:
- 16 GB of RAM
- 700 GB of free disk space
- Processor Intel Core i7
- 8 processors core
- Windows 7 Pro SP1
I will use VirtualBox to install Windows Server 2012 Standard on each virtual machine. I must install SharePoint Server 2013, SQL Server 2012, Visual Studio 2012.
I was thinking to do the following:
1- One virtual machine to be used as a domain controller(DC) installing Active Directory Domain Services
2- One virtual machine to install SQL Server 2012
3- One virtual machine to install SharePoint Server 2013 and Visual Studio 2012
To make this work, I do not know if I should install something else, like IIS and in which virtual machine install it.
Is this a well design to do development ?
I have read the "Test Lab Guide: eBook for SharePoint Server 2013 Intranet and Team Sites", this is a 3-tier design and I think I do not have the required hardware to do this. So maybe I could do something simpler, like I wrote at the beginning.
I would like some advice. Thanks in advance.
