Eve-ng bare metal setup?

[pakhisana]

I’m confused and have been banging my head against the wall with this. I’m studying for my CCNP and would like to get eve-ng setup on a physical server with ubuntu 16 as the os, per eve-ng request. The server I’m interested is an:

HP ProLiant DL360 G7 4B Server 2X 2.66GHz X5650 12-Cores Total 32GB RAM 4X 146GB 10K SAS HDD No OS(Renewed)

Questions:

Is that enough cores? RAM?

Am I going to be able to install Ubuntu on this server? I noticed that the Ubuntu 16 server image install recommended an AMD architecture, however EVE-NG recommends Intel. Will run into issues with this, as I suspect? check the quote below for non-intel processors per eve-ng.

“In other words the EVE-NG requirements are the same for nested ESXi virtualization or Cisco VIRL/CML. EVE-NG can still work without Intel VT processors and can run installed within other hypervisors also But:

64 bits (x86_64) appliances won’t work. Poor performances should be expected with 32 bits (i386) appliances.”

very old server actually
it does support EPT nested virtualization, but indeed its very weak and old
