I am looking to get a quote on a large quanty (50) of servers to meet the following needs:
- connectivity to storage arrays (FC & iSCSi)
-Would need two PICe slots
- I would be discovering LUNs and running I/O generators like IOmeter to these LUNs
- I would be installing Suse Linux on these systems
These systems must be rack mounted, they can range from a 1u server to a 2u 4 node system. There are so many options out there, I'm not sure what route to go. The cheapest that I found was a Dell PowerEdge R240 for $539 each, then there is the option of the Supermicro "BigTwin" 4 node server which I couldn't find a price for I think I need to find a re-seller of Supermicro equipment.
Let me know your thoughts?
**Mods please feel free to move to appropriate section if needed.
