Thanks Mimahmed,

So I must need a licence to run 1000 customers even hardware is routerboard or x86 device? Can you differentiate which hardware is best.

which hardware is best to use? Routerboard vs x86
And if I choose x86 then it is best to use with guestOS in visualization. In near future i will use freeradius and freeside with it and a monitoring software. What are the benefits of visualization of server?
Kindly advice for above?

Use Routerboard if you want use freeradius and freeside with it and a monitoring software .

The benefits of visualization of server is

For Better Management you can sit on your single pc and manage all of your virtual servers .
Better performance
Reduce Cost

I'm afraid I can't agree...

You can sit on your single PC and manage all your routerboards. even in unconfigured state (mac-telnet, mac-winbox, and even beter, RoMON). Guess you refer to the "hardware part" of the virtual servers.

I don't agree either on "better performance", there are limitations on 10G interfaces, and virtualized nics performance can be a bottleneck on x86 (that's why CHR was released), that is not speaking of IRQ bottlenecks...

Actually you don't reduce costs at all but very specific scenarios by using virtual x86. Additionally, routerboards are much more reliable than PC hardware, see the link on previous post.

It would be a different story (in terms of mid and long-term costs) if the system had to be housed on a NOC, where you usualy pay per rack space and power draw on a monthly basis. Again, that's why Cloud Hosted Router ROS version was released for.
