All in one host also has the upside of allowing you to do shared storage by way of freenas over the virtual network without having to spend the coin on an actual network that's fast enough to share out disk to multiple iscsi targets with several guest OSes on each. Just raid 10 some 1TB drives, present them all to the NAS VM, break out however many LUNs you need and present those to the 2nd level hypervisors.

evol262 posted:I wasn't joking when I mentioned IPoIB. You can get a 24 port 10gb Infiniband switch, HBAs, and cables for less than an 8port 10GE switch. I'm not at all familiar with infiniband offerings. Mind linking example products that you'd suggest?

evol262 posted:Go on eBay. Look for Mellanox HCAs (QLogic HCAs are also fine), CX4 cables, and an infiniband switch (QLogic, Mellanox, maybe Topspin or Cisco). Any PCIe HCA you see should be at least 10gb. You can get 10gb (8gb effectively, because it probably won't be FDR) for ~$25, and dual-port HCAs for $40. 10gb is old hat in the Infiniband world. It's actually that simple. Neat, thanks. I'll check it out.

Okay, I'm finally ready to buy some cisco poo poo. Here's what I'm thinking for ROUTE/SWITCH: 2 x 2801 ISR with sufficient RAM for 15.x 2 x 3640 for frame relay and mpls goodness 2 x 3560 2 x 2960 1 x ASA 5505, potentially a second one if I end up colocating this nonsense at work so I can just set up a site to site. 1 x cyclades TS-3000 Anything terribly wrong here? Also, apparently I am meant to know some level of wireless and VOIP for SWITCH - what sorts of equipment might I want, or is it going to be minor enough that I can just get what I need from books?

mala posted:I'm in Australia so not sure how much shipping comes to, I am willing to give it for free though so should still come ahead minus shipping. As long as it gets a good home and helps you. Looks like air mail will be about $130 - close to the price of a 2811, and more than the price of a 2801.  I really appreciate the offer, but I guess it doesn't make a lot of sense to ship it out here. Maybe GOOCHY is closer to you?
