I use VBox heavily..
With many systems running in mine thou not all at once.
I have Windows Servers; Ubuntu and derivatives (LL too) RHEL/CentOS and OVA's....
*This bigger VB host does run on Windows (my last).. But I do run VB on Linux too, usually smaller instances....
With this bigger; I don't have them connect to the internet, but they all are on a 10.x.x.x network and can see one another and participate in some fashion to the AD network I have...
For the Guests; most Linux server OS have SSH installed, else I install... From my host (192.168.x.x) I can SSH (putty/powershell) to them directly. I'll SCP from time to time... BUT if you install the VB Addons... You can set up shared folders from host to guests and can it have auto mount. This works nicely when sharing to masses. I assume SFTP should work in the same fashion...
I haven't done X11 forwarding as the console isn't terrible and I use the CLI most often. VB (via additions) can enable drag and drop between host/guest though I haven't tried in a GUI/GUI...
VB is pretty robust for a free Hypervisor
