1) What kind of compute offerings do you plan on providing to your customers? 2) Where are you storing customer vms? Local storage, or is there some storage solution not mentioned here? 3) Can't give much insight on the IO rate card as I'm not US based. 4) You might want two management servers for redundancy.
Our specs: Management servers: 2 virtual cores, 8GB ram. Running on existing virtual infrastructure. Hypervisors: 2 hexadore cpus, 192/256GB ram. 160GB disks. Primary/secondary storage: Netapp Backup: Only for management Regards, Erik Weber On Tue, Mar 18, 2014 at 6:22 PM, Talk Jesus <[email protected]> wrote: > Hello everyone, > > > > I'd like to set up a public cloud for web hosting (cloud shared hosting, > cloud vps, cloud servers) for a new venture. > > > > My questions are: > > > > ----- Question #1 ----- > > > > What is the proper way to initially start the hardware infrastructure > (example)?
