hyper-V in desktop machine (core 2 Deo 2 GB Ram and 250 GB in HD)

But the Hypervisor shouldn't care what the ISO is. It just gets run as a machine, within another machine.
Main issue is lack of PV drivers.

Because I just check on pfsense forum and I find some people complaining about some issue when using pfsense in hyper-v
It would not be expected to work. FreeBSD doesn't run on Azure either, yet.
-
The issue specifically reside in nic and traffic speed according to what I had found

Which is controlled by the PV drivers (or the lack thereof.)
-
what do you mean by pv drivers sir
-
ParaVirtualized Drivers

Here's a description of PV Drivers and why they should be used.

NOTED
thanks for that -
i follow your opinion and choose XenServer, the XenCenter look great and has a nice GUI user friendly, but i remark that XenServer consume too much RAM, almost half of my RAM memory, in this case i will have only 1 GB RAM for guest (in my situation 2 guest) freePBX will get 500 MB and pfsense will get 500 MB, i don't think that it will be enough ??
-
Does all hypervisors consume such memory or only XenServer ???
-
Pretty much every Hypervisor is going to consume at least 2 GB of memory.
Without going out and searching for the minimum my self. But 2GB isn't really much at all.
Granted it is on your system though.
-
Any reason you can't increase the amount of RAM? The cost should be minimal.

sure i'm planning to do that, i will add another 2 GB, i hope the CPU work fine because there is no way to increase !

I'll 2nd that

@IT-ADMIN In my (limited) experience you run out of RAM (and HDD I/O) long before you run out of CPU

i hope so

Is this for personal use? If so I can understand using this setup, but for production, no way.
Though @scottalanmiller will say that even in home use this probably shouldn't be done, instead host these on services like DigitalOcean will provide better service, etc - granted the cost will be significant comparatively.
-
will be in production environment but in a very small office (4 computers), it is only a garage but do some administrative task, i want to connect them via vpn to our HQ and deploy 4 ip telephone
-
for this reason i don't want to power 2 machine 24/24 only to server 4 computers and 4 telephone, so i decided to host pfsense and freePBX in one machine (xenserver)
-
I'm lost.
So the goal is provide 4 computers and 4 phones with service (phone and internet).
Assuming you have a FreePBX system back at your main office, this is how I would do it.
I'd install an EdgeRouter (you pick the flavor), use that to VPN back to the central office, then hang the phones off your office PBX and call it a day.
I suppose you could install PFSense on the Vostro and use that as your firewall if you wanted, but why are you having a local FreePBX install? Are you planning on terminating SIP on the FreePBX install at the garage? If not, then you gain next to nothing having the FreePBX install be onsite.
