[HELP] - Decision making is hard...

$

Good morning guys

I have a dilemma on my hands...

I would like to set up an HA/DRS cluster in my workplace...

I would host the main work machines on this cluster.

We're talking about this sort of config:

 

- 10 x Development machines (Win10, a few rough running programs -> 4 cores per machine and at least 8Gb of RAM);

- 5 x Testing machines available "on-demand" -> they don't need to be ON all the time;

 

We have three CAD designers working here and us others do mainly programming on pretty badly coded IDEs that when in compiling stress the heck out of our systems...

 

I will have as hosts 2/3 HP DL380G6 each with 2x Xeon X5670s (six cores with hyperthreading) and 64GB of RAM (RAM could bu bumped up if needed, CPUs not really...).

 

Could this work out? Or do I have too little processing cores to keep it under control?

If I set this up I would need three right? Active, Passive and Witness if I understand correctly?

 

Thanks a lot in advance for any help
