That will drastically cut down your up front costs. You could purchase one VDI license for Windows Professional, and install a Windows 7/10 VM on the server for around $100/yr and run Veeam inside of that. Assuming you're also using the paid version of Veeam, now you're at $1800 in software costs for this solution. That's spending around $900 for a license just for backing up. Something else to consider, you will have to have two Windows Server 2012 licenses because you are looking at having three Windows VMs (you can only have have two Windows VMs per license). If possible, use the Pegasus2 R6 as a NAS instead of DAS, and use it as a backup target for Veeam.Īs for the hypervisor, I'd use either Hyper-V or XenServer because they are both free - but only Hyper-V works with Veeam, so if you have your heart set on Veeam (and there is nothing wrong with that) I'd say use Hyper-V. The thing I don't like about that is that you now have to connect that storage to another machine of the same hypervisor inorder to read the data. I'd start with 16 GB RAM, give 4 to the domain controller, 4 to the file server (probably overkill for both) and 8 to the Veeam VM.Īs mentioned, you could install the Promise controller into the hypervisor, format the Pegasus2 R6 as a datastore inside the hypervisor, then present the storage to Veeam. I'd look at a HP D元60 with four 2 TB drives in RAID 10 giving you 4 TB of usable space. OK Domain services and File and Print servers - easy, you need nearly no resources to have a good experience.
Why would you be building a machine to be custom and then not put in the right amount of storage and requires an external chassis increasing cost, risk, complexity and latency?
That's weird consumer Apple stuff, find for a desktop but yet again, never put this in a server. Whats driving the desire to use the least likely to be applicable choice? It's the only hypervisor that you should never use for free. ESXi? Why? Clearly someone is out of money and cutting corners, ESXi delivers the least when you are on a budget.is this stuff on the HCL? Even if it is, never do this.What is driving for something that needs to be a server to ever be a whitebox? I mean, there has to be a use case for some of this stuff, but it feel like everything that can be wrong, is.
You are building a whitebox desktop ESXi server and want to use Promise consumer external storage? Every word of that is wrong, except maybe ESXi, and even that.
