Currently my company has a server running Ubuntu Server 14.04 64 bit with 4 GB of memory and Intel Core i3-2100 processor. And we want to build new a server that will use Intel Xeon E3-1230V3 processor (see this link) and 16 GB of memory.

Since the processor doesn't has integrated graphics, and Ubuntu Server doesn't has a GUI, do I need separate graphics card to run this machine? Does Ubuntu Server needs a graphics processor although it is run on text mode?

Any comments will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

No, a GPU is not necessary for Ubuntu to run on the system. However, if you don't have a serial console or some other management interface with which to visually see what you are doing on the system, you may find it difficult to work through the installation process.
