Reading the thread and getting lost a little bit. Le me ask a few specific questions: if I buy 2 x of these and put them into 2 servers running esx I should be able to connect them directly without switch for IPoIB So essentially I'd have two separate links @ QDR between two servers...

Yes solaris buzz is certainly not what it used to be. A lot of companies out there took zfs and are using it for compression and dedupe. Unfortunately they are all closed source

Just went almost through this exercise (I am using ESX) You don't list storage requirements..but I assume not small due to sql servers... Had Dell 2950 III with E540x + 32gb of ram and 1TB storage. Looked @ C6100/C6220 and decide to go with R720xd for one main reason... storage subsystem...

Ahh.. I am all about it mode. Zfs here I come

Buying supermicro atom c2750 system with these.puppies. will provide feedback in a few weeks

Try proxmox, much easier for kvm. Have it running on 40 hosts

Proxmox is nice

if you are referring to my question on different auctions.. ..then the question is if this is the only difference. Yes, I'd put new sata or ssd into this puppy :)

Trying to figure out all the different auction configurations.. from this seller... is the main difference number + size of hard drives? For example see this auction: Dell C6105 Cloud Server 6X 1 8GHz AMD 6 Core 48GB RAM 3X 250GB C6100 Series | eBay

I am also interested in as many as 10 units, once more details are avaialble
