      Cool! 🙂 Would this be HC-Scale you're talking?

        @ntoxicator yup. Straight list on a 2000 series 3 node cluster (before discounting) is ~35k, and a 1000 series is ~25k.... not hard to get there at all.

          Thanks everyone for continued input 🙂

          Lenovo & Sever X are now off the list and will not be mentioned again or brought up for pricing.

          I can re-provision these NAS units for back-up targets as suggested. Keep what is already here and then spend the money to do HA-setup using localized storage on the nodes

          Its getting the CEO to pull bandaid off and spend some $$. We generate plenty in gross revenue and plenty to spare for net profit. 50 grand worth of new equipment I think would not be all that bad considering it can left in production for probably 4+ years

          Holy crap $50K? I wish I had that kind of budget in the past!

            @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.

                    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

                        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.

                                      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.
