Enterprise virtualization on a budget
In the coming posts I will be detailing the architecture that I designed for a recent work project that aimed to build a cost-effective virtualization environment to span two university colleges. Here are the broad strokes:
- Three LeftHand iSCSI SAN nodes using VSA with a total of 27TB of usable space
- Two HP DL585’s with 4×4 procs, 128GB RAM, 16 NIC’s
- Two redundant HP ProCurve 2910al switches
- PowerVault MD1000 with 11.25TB for backup storage
