Hi guys,
I would like to replace our current HP G6 (64G RAM, 2x L5640 CPU, TGE nic, PCI NVMe) and HDD (1 TB WD Black) CEPH cluster with a used newer system with SSD.
We have 70 OSD, (10 per node), avg IOPS around 2k, peak ~5k, the cluster used for KVM vms. It working very well, but we would like to switch to SSD because of better latency, lower power usage, and save rack unit space (current cluster hace 3x 1U mon servers and 7x 2U OSD, 17 rack unit total).
My budget is very limited, i can spend on this project around 25k EUR.
What i think first (using HP servers, because we shopping from servershop24.de and they mostly selling HP stuffs):
HP ProLiant DL360p Gen8
I planning to use 7 OSD node and 3 mon, this will be around 50TB gross capacity.
What do you think about this? Is it can be good, or im have totally wrong vision?

- RAM: 12x 8GB DDR3 REG ECC (beacuse of triple channel 6 modul per cpu)
- CPU: E5-2670 (8-Core @ 2.60 GHz)
- FlexibleLOM: Dual SFP+ (649869-001 or similar)
- NIC: HP NC560SFP+ dual SFP+
- And for OSD disk: 8x SAMSUNG PM863a (new!)
- P420i in HBA mode or dedicated HBA, like H220 or similar
