Depends on your availability requirements, but in general I'd say if you're
going with N replicas, you'd want N failure domains (where one blade
chassis is a failure domain).

That's 430TB of eggs in the one 4U basket so consider that against your
MTTR requirements. I fully understand the motivation for that kind of
configuration but *personally*, I wouldn't want to be responsible for its
day-to-day operation but maybe that's just me. 😁
Hi,
What about this type of blades, which gives you about 12 (commodity) servers
in 3U:

Thank you Max. That is a solid choice.
Thank you Max. That is a solid choice. You can even configure each
blade with two 15TBytes SSDs (may not be wise), but that would yield
~430TBytes of SSD across 14 nodes in 4u space for around $150k.

Have you considered a blade chassis? Then you can get most of the redundancy
of having lots of small nodes in few(er) rack units.
SuperMicro has a chassis that can accommodate 14 servers in 4U:

Thank you Jeff. Consider that if rack space is at a premium, what would
make the most sense?

IF you bought a server with that topology, you would definitely want to run
lots of instances, perhaps 24, to effectively utilize that disk space.
You'd also need 24 IPs, and you'd need a NIC that could send/receive 24x
the normal bandwidth. And the cost of rebuilding such a node would be 24x
high
We have a large amount of data to be stored in Cassandra, and if we were
to purchase new hardware in limited space, what would make the most sense?
Dell has machines with 24, 8TByte drives in a 2u configuration. Given
Cassandra's limitations (?) to large nodes, would it make sense to run
24 copi
