Good Day,
I was chosen to help spec out a new server for a dev shop with lots of SQL Work. The server will not be from Dell,HP or Lenovo due to the high costs. I want to spec out and build my own server based on Supermicro barebone or anything else suggested. I like the Supermicro because it provides a new starting point. My max bugdet is 10k. Can anyone help me advice, on the CPU, RAM choice. My most difficult part is choosing the storage. Seems that SSDs are still pricy, 10k 2.5 sas drives 15k sas drives. Need some help here. Also what raid card to choose.
This is what I got so far:
SUPERMICRO SYS-1028R-WC1RT 1U Rackmount Server Barebone Dual LGA 2011 Intel C610 DDR4 DIMM sockets
SUPERMICRO SYS-1028R-WC1RT 1U Rackmount Server Barebone Dual LGA 2011 Intel C610 DDR4 DIMM sockets - Newegg.ca
Intel Xeon E5-2630 v3 Haswell-EP 2.4 GHz 8 x 256KB L2 Cache 20MB L3 Cache LGA 2011-3 85W BX80644E52630V3 Server Processor x2
Intel Xeon E5-2630 v3 Haswell-EP 2.4 GHz 8 x 256KB L2 Cache 20MB L3 Cache LGA 2011-3 85W BX80644E52630V3 Server Processor - Newegg.ca
Ram Either 128GB or 256GB DDR4
Raid control maybe buildin good enough
Need to device on storage, option 10x 2.5
This box will also host between 20-30 low resource vms that are constantly changing.
Cheers
