I also thought there was a way to run virtualization in OS X Server somehow, but I couldn’t find any documentation to support that idea. So, VMWare or Parallels.

FYI, I have a 2011 MBP 17" quad core 2.3 MHz i7 with 16 GB of RAM, and glorious 10.6.8 on an SSD + a 1 TB HD. Using VMWare Fusion 5.0.5, I've got Mac OS X 10.8.5, 10.9.x and Windows 7 running in VMs without an issue.
It's actually really really fast and faster in many things than my 2015 Retina MBP 15" quad core 2.2 MHz i7 with 16 GB of 1600MHz RAM and a 240 GB Apple SSD.
Builds are certainly faster on the modern Mac though, FWIW.
I'll try putting these on other media when I get home and make sure that I also have 10.10 and 10.11 configured in VMs just to see if this works from my target Mac OS to at least give us a data point to see which OSes we can run in virtualization.
