Hey,
I am designing a network for our small temple renderfarm, Our temple is producing many 3d animations and we need to upgrade our network.
We have 60 render nodes, each with gigabit network cards.
Our server has 2 X 2TB samsung 850 pro ssds. in a Raid 0 configuration.
also in the server there is a 6 X 6TB Hitachi Nas Drive RAID 10 array.
So we were thinking to use 2 teamed 10gbps network connections from the server to our main switch.
We are planning to purchase a Dell X series x1052 switch which has 4 10gbps sfp+ ports.
we are planning to puchase an intel x710-da2 nic card
and then LACP the nic ports to 2 of the switch sfp+ ports for a total of 20gbps.
The render nodes would then be connected to the dell switch.
We are a small non-profit organization so budget is a major concern.
So if anyone has any better ideas for our planned network please help.
