I am considering setting up a system for my company where there is one central system that will run 4 to 10 Windows VM's. Each VM will have its own peripherals and will do various data mining/analytical work. The following is what I am considering at the moment for the build.

 

I would greatly appreciate any lessons learned, suggestions and feedback available.

For work, buy an air cooler (e.g. NH-U14S TR4-SP3). AIO will not be able to match a good air cooler when taking reliability into account.

 

Does each VM require its own GPU?

You picked a single RTX 2070, which is a massive overkill if the each VM doesn't need a dedicated GPU but would be totally insufficient otherwise (i.e. will need multiple GPU).

In case you wonder, Unraid does not support any kind of GPU sharing tech.

 

What are the peripherals? How are the peripherals connected to the VM e.g. USB?

You will have to go through hoops if all you VM's use the same model of peripheral e.g. the same keyboard model.
