Cannot decide between 1U servers for growing company
-
@Aconboy - nice!
I thought was going to be more than that..... next week lets maybe get together for webinar and review. like to see the entire rundown
also there any documentation on migrating from XenServer VM to HC scale? Or does it support the same disk image
-
While a Scale solution would be awesome... it just seems like overkill.
But if HA is really that important to the CEO, he has little choice I suppose.

Holy crap $50K? I wish I had that kind of budget in the past!
Where's my 1 Million likes button?
-
@ntoxicator I can directly import .qcow2 images. Where are you located in the country and I will have a guy ping you directly
-
I'm anticipating 50k budget. Considering the millions of dollars we're grossing. They made comment of wanting something that will hold out until 2018 or so. To support ~300-400 employee's

@Aconboy - East Coast.... Florida

Then just do what we all told you to do and buy Scale gear.

We have a local data center down the road as well.. I've been wanting to negotiate shared rack space for power + BW as alternative backup area or for future hosting needs. That is separate topic for another day. Sure I'll get flamed for that one lol.

I'll flame it right here.. You don't negotiate for shared rack space. If they are truly a data center, then you rent collocation space. Negotiate your price point and bandwidth, sure. but it is a simple, clear concept.

Right if they are an enterprise class datacenter and sell collocation space then that's that... hell if you have a decent ISP or two you could relocate all of your stuff there... especially since you are already doing terminal services.

Yes - I'm aware of colo'ing servers.
Yes - i can negotiate or buy half rack or full rack for power and bw
-
@ntoxicator I will have Kevin Holmes and Ross Wimer reach out to you
-
@Aconboy - awesome. thank you!
cheers

Yep. We can put some hardware in with our router at our ISP.

That's where Scale "scales" like you want. You can start with what you need today and grow to whatever you need down the road. All very fluid.
-
How is this project going?
-
It's gone quiet, apparently
-
had a webinar with Scale. Need to provide back assessment data before can see their proposal with cost. Will see.
-
Let us know if there is anything that we can do to help out.

The Scale systems are excellent. I know NTG has one. I've worked with their systems a couple of years ago, and the performance was night & day VS VMware and a similarly sized SAN. And their systems work really well.
Scale especially kicks butt for Windows performance because of their stack.
In the demo we had the @scale tech was able to install a Windows Server before my ADD kicked in. It was impressive, almost nothing is fast enough to avoid that.
