Adeyinka,The server in this listing does support virtualization. The hardware supports it and the processor has the execute disable bit needed for virtualization.

The "Certified Servers" team appreciates your question. Our server comes with 2x Intel® Xeon® Processor E5440 (12M Cache, 2.83 GHz, 1333 MHz FSB) . According to intel these processors support Intel® Virtualization Technology (VT-x).

You should have no issues running ESXi on this. You would have to by an actual dedicated RAID card though as the on board is a fake RAID and probably isn't supported by ESXi.

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.

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.

Yes this server does support Windows 2012 and it does support virtualization.

Yes. The server is sold separately. It's small - about the size of a laptop but about an inch thick.

Yes, it is supported. While I've never had a malfunction issue, I have called them with a couple of questions as recently as November '12. This product has been replaced by the DS212j, hence why they don't have the DS211j listed any longer. Didn't see the post below before I posted this, but I also recommend getting the newer model. While the 211j takes care of 90% of my needs, I would really like to use it as a Plex server, but only the newer Intel cpu diskstations support it.

I am running it in an ASUS M3N78 PRO, I do not know what the -vm stands for.

Yes it is a Xeon but it was released at least 6+ years ago. These are mostly still around for replacement or addition to old servers that are still in production.

It does not have any virtualization features at all. You can see the spec sheet for this one here: http://ark.intel.com/products/50496/Intel-PRO1000-PT-Quad-Port-Server-Adapter Here is the spec sheet for the I350-T4: http://ark.intel.com/products/59063/Intel-Ethernet-Server-Adapter-I350-T4

The server will support up to 64GB of RAM maximum, however you would need to install 8 x 8GB Modules. For 32GB you need 8 x 4GB Modules.

Typically, yes. But you should always go to Synology's site to confirm supported hardware.

Oddly enough, I read the VMWare Fusion documentation a few days ago. It says yes. I haven't personally tried it, though.

Yes, it is supported. For a complete list of supported CPUs, please see: http://www.gigabyte.us/support-downloads/cpu-support-popup.aspx?pid=4288. Hope this helps. Thanks.

Devices itselft - can, but You are describing very complex and layered setup, probably, INSIDE the Linux running under virtual box - no, but running under KVM with IO paravirtualization - yes. But that's very "layered" setup..
