    Default Can Open-e DSSbe use as SAN for server and desktop virtualization with this IOPS?

    Hi
    Can open-e dss be use as SAN for server and desktop virtualization with this IOPS?



    Number of servers that must be virtualized:25
    Number of desktops that must be virtualized:200
    70 Tera Byte will be needed
    HA,FT and ... features must be enabled.
    SAN: HP G9(p440ar,32GB RAM,2*146GB 15k HDD for open-e)+HP D3700(10k SAS HDDs)+HP D3600(7.2k SAS HDDs)+Open-e DSS
    Physical servers for ESXi virtualization: 4*HP DL380 G8 with +320GB of RAM

    I looks like our JovianDSS (ZFS base) product would be best for these IOps to provide the storage for the ESXi. No RAID controller is needed with the JovianDSS only SAS HBA.
    Also the use of 2 SSD's for the ZIL or Write Log with a mirror set and large Nearline SAS 7200 drive for the Read Cache. The RAM looks ok as we use the RAM for tier caching with the Write Log/SSD's. You download the JovianDSS and test as a VM or a physical machine for 60 days. Systems that have been tested with different hardware specs are here at the link below with speed and IOps results.
