Hey guys,
I have upgraded my server (some build blog will come soon).
So I got my Xeon E3-1225v3 with 24GB of ECC memory. I have now much more storage in my server and want to use some VMs, as they can be created on SSD.
But with 40TB of storage + SSDs, I should not create VMs 4GB of RAM. Yeah well, I could ... but it is not recommended I think (FN has not enough RAM for serving data). Upgrading to the maximum of 32GB is uneconomical, so I may need a new plattform.
Or not? Can I run 1 VM or so?
At the moment, I have DDR3-1600 sticks, ECC of course. I could migrate to a new plattform with 8+ cores which is using DDR3 Ram, so I could reuse the modules. Upgraded to a new rig would lead into:
300 bucks mainboard
600 bucks CPU
750 bucks for DDR4 ECC memory (64GB)
Neither of this are good options. Maybe socket 2011-0/1 would be the way to go. With some fancy E5-2xx0v2 CPUs? What do you guys think. I am sure, the RAM is the showstopper here, because of the expensive prices.
I am currently often out of country, so I have not enough time to review all the options.
Maybe you guys have some ideas :)
Cheers,
Ice
