This is currently what we have:
2 selves of 10000 RPM 72GB Fiber channel drives
1 shelf of 15K 144GB fiber channel drives
1 shelf of 10K 300GB fiber channel drives
1 shelf of 7200RPM 500GB SATA drives.
Each self has 14 discs
After you take out overhead, formating, blah blah blah, you come out to about 8TB of storage but you consume like 3200W of power XD
The 3 pizza boxes are these:
SC200 - 2 PIII 1.4GHz - 1GB ram (soon to be 4GB) - will run linux
Another Dual PIII - 2 1.4GHz - 1.5GB ram (soon to be at least 4GB) - will run Server 2008
EMC BJ26 - P4 3.4GHz 2GB ram (soon to be 4GB) - will run Exchange
1u running Celly 433MHz - not sure what to do with it
Dell Insperon 2400 - 2.4GHz celly w/ 512MB of ram, soon to be 2GB (and maybe a P4 2.8GHz) - will run linux
+ a Cisco switch which has 24 Ethernet ports on it
and a SilkWorm Fiber swtich
Each item can and usually has to be configured via console lol
Right now we are in the process of getting everything working. Pics will be up tomorrow (hopefully).
Tell me what you think!
Here is what we have setup ATM... Note that is is incomplete. Also, please note, these are Enterprize class!!!!!!!!! They are meant to stay on for extended periods of time (a year or more) without ever going down. Basically, these are what is in a data center.
