Build 1:
Build’s Name:
Intel S2600STB Supermicro X11DPH-TChassis:
(new)
Intel Optane 800p 118GB NVMe 256GB PM981
2x Samsung PM981 2TB NVMe(migrating from old server)
(migrating)
Usage Profile:
Virtualization host, primary storage, router, 30+ VMs doing all kinds of stuff.
Build 2:
Build’s Name:
(migrating)
Usage Profile:
Virtualization host.
Don't even know what I'm putting on it yet. At least a local domain controller and virtualizing the router here so I stop bottlenecking IPSec. Failover mail and DNS servers. Case has room for 24 drives, probably going to put at least 40TB in for off-site backups between the 2 sites.
Retiring:
Current main server, has served me well for 6 years or so.
2x Xeon E5-2665 ES
SuperMicro X9DAi
Unknown 4U chassis I've had since 2007
Other parts pulled for the 2 above builds. ^^
I have a spare SC836 and some RAM that I've pulled upgrading. Will probably slap this board in there and stick it under my desk as a workstation.
