Our New Scale Cluster Arrives Tomorrow
-
So much activity, this thing is really filling up with VMs quickly!
-
We are getting more opportunity to run this cluster through its paces as I start working on the Linux Admin Guide on it.
-
Just found out that all of the gear is, indeed, moving to a US-based datacenter. Which one, I don't know yet, but hopefully will find out this week.

Too bad you don't want it UK based, I could have got you a deal here

What kind of facilities do you have over there?

From co-lo to full hosting, we have several options available with different benefits etc - including live-scalable type environments etc

We have so much gear that we could easily populate a second facility, too bad it is so costly to ship gear from the US to the UK.

hah well If you ever decide to have it multi-location get in touch
and yeah, we have lots of space in our DC's for expansion! -
Get us some space, maybe we will accumulate some capacity over here, too.

The next three nodes are on their way now! The first three nodes were the SATA tier. We have an SSD tier coming now as well.

Ahhhh... to have a budget for such things must be nice.
-
I was hot and heavy for Scale.
Fast forward a month and now I'm neck-deep in planning a from-scratch VSAN cluster.
The doesn't-want-to-administer-vmware side of me is lusting for Scale, but the government-pricing-means-vsan-is-practically-free side of my boss trumps all.
-
Should I add... second 10GigE switch coming too.
-
-
We are using Dells. @art_of_shred or @Mike-Ralston would have to tell you which models, they have physical access to them.
-
I wanted the Melanox 40GigE ones but no luck
-
@scottalanmiller yeah I started looking at Mellanox really excitedly and then stopped when I realized I was out of my depth.

Interested in the model numbers. I am pushing for some Extreme switches and have been planning an upgrade and expansion for about a year including the, "It is going to be about $25K-30K" remarks several times to my boss. Get it all ironed out and just under the 30K mark after some back and forths with the vendor and Extreme and then I get the, "Wow. That is a lot more than I thought." when submitting the proposal. Waiting to hear back from the owner next week. Might have to go back to the drawing board.
