(sorry for top-posting; the Gmail mobile client can only reply by top-posting)

Well, if you want to run that appliance on the file sever, you still
have to install a hypervisor on the file server (e.g., VMware or Xen
or Linux KVM).

I'd recommend setting aside another server box and install a baremetal
hypervisor on it (e.g., VMware ESXi or Citrix XenServer).

Rgds,
