Hello,
I would advise that you choose a bare metal environment for max performance. Running virtualization on a basic Linux OS not only exposes all your servers to very many points of failures but also provides limited performance.
Convert the Centos server to a virtual machine using a Physical 2 Virtual (P2V) converter then deploy it as a VM.
VMware ESXi will sort you out. I can give a few good reasons.
2. VMware's P2V(register for a free trial so that you can also get a free ESXi key) is guaranteed to migrate you without any hitches.
VCentre Converter.
3. It is the most thoroughly tested virtualization framework.
I am available to assist you with the deployment at a very very modest cost :-)
Regards,
