Hi All,

 

Has anyone seen or heard about any Xeon-D based barebones servers more
suited for Ceph use. We are looking to roll out a 2nd cluster and would
really like something based on these boards that is barebones and dense.
There is a lot of fat in most servers that we just don't need and would love
a way to operate lean and mean.

 

Ideal for us, would be

 

1U

12-14 3.5" disks

Xeon-D 1540 (Onboard 10G-T)

Single PSU

Minimal case/chassis design

Some sort of separate fan module with large fans that cools multiple U's

 

We are currently running the Supermicro Fat Twin's (4 trays of 14xdisks),
but we would really like something we can grow 1U at a time and also power
individually. The Dual Xeon MB is also a un-needed cost.

 

We are even potentially considering getting some 1U sheet metal made with
mounting holes for MB and 12 disks, but for our required cluster size its
probably a bit of an excessive option at the moment. Although it would be
nice to put our 3D printer to good use and make some brackets of some sort
:)

 

Anyway, if anyone knows about anything coming out in the near future, I
would love to hear about it.

 

Nick
