We are looking at using DSS for Xenserver and VMWare for a few customer deployments we having coming up. They will be deployed in replication/HA pairs.
I am looking for feedback on what sort of storage servers everyone here is using? We are looking at 2u/12hdd or 3u/16hdd servers, a SAS raid card so we can have volumes of 15k sas and slower SATA if needed, and 16g of ram. They will be deployed with iSCSI so we are looking at 4 to 6 GE's bonded together plus 2GE's for replication.
We normally use Dell and SuperMicro HW and 3ware 9690sa raid controllers.
What do you have running? Are you happy with the performance? What would you recommend for the best IOPS?
We are looking for 5 to 10tb arrays for deployment.
Post your HW used for storage..
