Server with SSD's

We need to replace our 10 year old HP server. We are currently looking into the option of using SSD's. We run everything in VMWare Esxi and have the following virtual machines:

- DC server 2012R2
- File/IIS/DNS/Print/Exchange server 2012R2
- 1 SQL server 2008R2
- 2 linux CentOS servers
- 3x Windows 7
- 1x Windows 10

We have about 15 users on the server. We think putting everything on SSD's would be overkill. We are wondering if using SSD's for caching is an option (like snapshots for backups).
