Re: Disabling HTTPS communication between IHS WAS Plugin and WAS servers

We would like to install a 2-5 person test setup of IBM connections, Websphere and DB2, all on one machine if possible.
We are thinking about a Core i7-920 quad core, 24 GB RAM, 2x3 TB SATA 6 GB/s HDD, which would also run a Domino 8.5.3, preferably virtualized with VMWare ESXi.
Does this make sense or do you think it would get too slow (maybe the HDD could be a bottleneck)?
