I have to recommend Hyper-V. Windows Server 2012 Standard allows for two virtualization guests. If you purchase Windows Server 2012 Essentials, that means you can have three virtual machines for less than $1400 in software (the essentials counts as its own license).

So you can have your Essentials server that provides network topology services, an Amazing Charts server, and another server for something else (Exchange, or whatever).

Hyper-V is also easy to manage and a $500 copy of Backup Assist will handle your disaster recovery needs.

And lease it all from Dell for $350 a month or less.
