ADDED EDIT: So after reading an article just now and thinking on it some more, I guess the proper name for what I am ideally wanting is a "beowulf cluster". If there are any experts on this subject or anyone who could lend a hand with hardware/software config, PLEASE let me know. I am very anxious to free up some space in my cramped quarters by turning multiple systems to one.
Full details now:
First of all I am sorry if this is not the right forum for posting this type of question but I did not find a better fitting category than this.
I am trying to research building a server at home which will serve as a cloud computing host. Basically I want to be able to take all the hardware that I have accumulated in the past 4 years and put it all in a server rack. Then place that server rack either in my garage or a location nearby, and have about 5 different fully built systems running on that. I would then like to be able to access them with a browser basically, if possible even a Chromebook, but at least even a low end laptop.
If there is a way that I can remotely power on the systems so that I don't have to keep them all running 24/7 that would be great, I know that with my ASUS Sabertooth Z87 I have that feature and it uses a magic packet to power on but along with that I have two ASUS crosshair V formula Z's with 8 core 4.7 GHz and 5.0 GHz processors. then in the sabertooth an i5 3.4 and then a HP whatever with a i5 3.2... and lastly, possibly will take some other parts and putting together one more with probably some type of intel1155 socket as I have a mini atx that is brand new that is just sitting. So I use my computers for mostly 3D modeling and CAD, but I am also coding and hacking with Kali and Debian.
I have so many questions but I dont expect anyone to take the time to answer them all and I am a firm believer in due diligence, the reason I am posting though is that I want to make sure I spend my time researching the right things. Is Oracles Virtual box the way to go or Hyper V or what? Also, what is the best way to do this? would I use all the processors resources like a render farm to basically have one system with a bunch of virtual machines running or would it be better to run a actual OS on each system?
If anyone could point me in the right direction of where to do my learning on this I would greatly appreciate it and pass on the good deed as well. Or if anyone else is interested in learning about this or starting a similar project and wants to link up to work together that would be awesome. Thank you very much to anyone that takes some time to answer or read. o ya also have 2 gtx 760s, about 8-10 TB in HDDs, 2 TBs in SSDs, & 3, PSUs.
THANK YOU!
p.s just a quick yes or no, is running a remote gaming system feasible or would the extra latency kill it? even i did a stand alone system on the rack meaning a single system with an single OS installed and not part of a render farm, but still accessed remotely, would there be added lag?
