    Topton Jasper Lake Quad i225V Mini PC Report

    So with two-nic standard configuration of opnsense, it should use around 8-9W... So for limited bandwidth connection (100-300 Mbps), an APU2 or J4105 use a little bit less power for typical small/home firewall and routing.

    vSAN sizing reccomandations

    Resuming this thread: currently I could buy 8-10 used SAS SSD HUSMM medium sizes (400/800gb) for about 80-120 Euro each, while finding good used Nvme ones same capacity like Intel P3600 in such quantity is more difficult to find in Europe - mostly come from US and China. I know that 400gb is...

    Nics with OCP 2.0 Type 1: (Connector A)

    Hi guys, looking at the datasheet of poweredge R7515, it seems that the LOM connector for additional network cards is based on OCP 2.0 standard, type 1, connector A. Dell online configurator offers only Broadcom based solution for a couple of 1G/10G/25G ports. I would like to know if anyone had...

    Virtualization of pfsense and others, pre check

    Yes, of course. And I agree about the remaining steps. So your scheme would be like the following, where the "public" WAN enter into the switch and from here the connection to the cluster of servers but you now the two firewall VMs can be on any server of this cluster, and the...

    Virtualization of pfsense and others, pre check

    Just to make the things more complicated... What is needed if instead of virtualizing pfSense in single host, you are using a cluster of servers where you want to setup a couple of pfSense in HA. These pfSense VM, as other VM can be moved/migrated from one host to another. Let's think about...

    Servers and switches in a single rack

    @i386: also in my case I have few cm from side and being the side closed it's not easy to handle these cables. It's worth notice that every 2U, I have 2 power cables, 2 QSFP+ cables, 3 to 5 SFTP/UTP cables, and in some case also a couple of SFP+ cables depending on the server, because I mostly...

    Servers and switches in a single rack

    So looking at this solution, switches can stay fixed on the back side of the rack, on bottom or on top ot in the middle. Cables pass on the sides of the rack. The servers' I/O panels are on the same side of the switch: just is needed to think about the sliding, that could be easier when cable...

    Servers and switches in a single rack

    Fritz, why do you think is a bad idea ? Are your switches front-facing (ports on same side of servers) or with ports on backside, like mine ?
