+100GB Bitdefender virtual machine
+100GB User data
+100GB Main install
= 1TB (Available 1.88TB)
RAID per server
[Fast] 300GB RAID1 – 2x300GB SSD for application server vm, and bitdefender vm.
[Medium] 392GB RAID10 – 146GBx4 15K for 20x Windows 10 virtual machines, and domain controller vm.
[Slow] 1TB RAID1 – 2x 1TB 7.2K for backup and share data
8GB USB thumb drive for OS

I like to isolate
Static to 100-199(Servers 100-129, Workstations 130-179,
Printer DHCP to 200-239,
and keep 001 as the gateway, 002-099 and 240-254 for utility. ~Doug

Layout:
InternetA --> Firewall --> Server 1 --> Switch --> Clients InternetB --> --> Server 2
Server 1 and 2 are directly connected with 10GB connection.
Every other connection is 1GB.
Spare firewall, switch, and thinclients on hand.
Taxonomy
1. First 2 characters for the Company,
2. Next two for Machine Type = Virtual Machine or RM for Real Machine
3. Next two Workstation or Server – WS = Windows Server, WW = Windows Workstation, LS = Linux Server, LW = Linux Workstation.
4. The last 2 = nn = number.
5. Example = DVRMLS01 = Domain Vacations, Real Machine, Linux Server, 01
