ServerBear Specs on Scale HC3
-
For those wondering, a single starter three node HC2000 cluster can run 64 VMs of this size in HA mode and 96 VMs of this size without HA. Each additional node would add 32 VM capacity.
-
Next hardware refresh I'm getting a SCALE cluster...

Our new cluster has already shipped. These are the specs from the OLD one, wait until you see what the new one can do!!

What sort of price for a 3 node set-up?
-
@hobbit666 I think their base 3 node is around $20-25K US.

Yes, $25K is the MSRP on the starter unit.

Not silly money, what sort of storage comes with the basic starter kit?

New units are right around the corner so don't want to say for sure, but the HC1000 and HC2000 clusters are both 12x SATA drives in RAIN throughout the cluster. So the performance varies a little but the IOPS are more or less what they are, you can see those above. The capacity is around 21.6TB RAW.
-
Currently the HC1000 is 7200RPM SATA and the HC2000 is usually 10K SAS.

I don't know what RAIN is - so what is the usable storage?

@Dashrender RAIN = Redundant Array of Independent Noodles...

Mmm, noodles, it's past my lunchtime.

@travisdh1 mine too. Now I want noodles, redundant or otherwise.

They have to be redundant. Eating JBON is much less satisfying.

Great, now I want redundant tacos.

You win this thread... we will be sending you an award soon.

It's oddly satisfying to know that you can relate RAID to almost anything... we had a hamster thread not too long ago as well.

What are the specs on the servers?
I am trying to think of how you would create a poor man's cluster....
Couldn't I just create a XenServer Cluster with Xen Orchestra, and get the same thing?

It's mirrored, so cut it in half
