Why not sell (some or all) those old units off. Build a new computer with a 4 or 6-core processor, lots of RAM, lots of hard drive space, multiple LAN cards and create multiple virtual machines?
Or if the workstations are powerful enough, you could probably set up virtualization in 5 machines with each machine running 1 real and 1 virtual machine. That's half the hardware but you still get 10 servers.

machinectl
MACHINECTL(1) machinectl MACHINECTL(1)
NAME
machinectl - Control the systemd machine manager
SYNOPSIS
machinectl [OPTIONS...] {COMMAND} [NAME...]
DESCRIPTION
machinectl may be used to introspect and control the state of the systemd(1) virtual machine and container registration manager systemd-
machined.service(8).
OPTIONS
The following options are understood:
-h, --help
Prints a short help text and exits.
--version
Prints a short version string and exits.
-p, --property=
When showing machine properties, limit the output to certain properties as specified by the argument. If not specified, all set
properties are shown. The argument should be a property name, such as "Name". If specified more than once, all properties with the
specified names are shown.
-a, --all
When showing machine properties, show all properties regardless of whether they are set or not.
-l, --full
Do not ellipsize process tree entries.
--no-pager
Do not pipe output into a pager.
--no-ask-password
Do not query the user for authentication for privileged operations.
--kill-who=
When used with kill-machine, choose which processes to kill. Must be one of leader, or all to select whether to kill only the leader
process of the machine or all processes of the machine. If omitted, defaults to all.
-s, --signal=
When used with kill-machine, choose which signal to send to selected processes. Must be one of the well-known signal specifiers, such
as SIGTERM, SIGINT or SIGSTOP. If omitted, defaults to SIGTERM.
-H, --host
Execute operation remotely. Specify a hostname, or username and hostname separated by "@", to connect to. This will use SSH to talk to
the remote machine manager instance.
-P, --privileged
Acquire privileges via PolicyKit before executing the operation.
The following commands are understood:
list
List currently running virtual machines and containers.
status [ID...]
Show terse runtime status information about one or more virtual machines and containers. This function is intended to generate
human-readable output. If you are looking for computer-parsable output, use show instead.
show [ID...]
Show properties of one or more registered virtual machines or containers or the manager itself. If no argument is specified, properties
of the manager will be shown. If an ID is specified, properties of this virtual machine or container are shown. By default, empty
properties are suppressed. Use --all to show those too. To select specific properties to show, use --property=. This command is
intended to be used whenever computer-parsable output is required. Use status if you are looking for formatted human-readable output.
terminate [ID...]
Terminates a virtual machine or container. This kills all processes of the virtual machine or container and deallocates all resources
attached to that instance.
kill [ID...]
Send a signal to one or more processes of the virtual machine or container. This means processes as seen by the host, not the processes
inside the virtual machine or container. Use --kill-who= to select which process to kill. Use --signal= to select the signal to send.
EXIT STATUS
On success, 0 is returned, a non-zero failure code otherwise.
ENVIRONMENT
$SYSTEMD_PAGER
Pager to use when --no-pager is not given; overrides $PAGER. Setting this to an empty string or the value "cat" is equivalent to
passing --no-pager.
