Hi,
I’m planning a new ESXi 6.5 virtualization host. The server will run standalone with a "VMware vSphere Essentials Kit" license.
There will be a bunch of small linux and windows VMs running on the system. Some small webservers, development servers, test-systems and so on.
The budged is about 15 - 20k €
At the moment I'm planning with the following components:
2 HE 19" server chassis
2 x Intel® Xeon® E5-2630 v4 2.2GHz,25M Cache,8.0 GT/s QPI,Turbo,HT,10C/20T (85W) Max Mem 2133MHz
6 x 32GB RDIMM, 2400MT/s, Dual Rank, x4 Data Width
8 x 600GB 15K RPM SAS 12Gbps 4Kn 2.5in Hot-plug Hard Drive,3.5in HYB CARR - in RAID10
1 x hardware RAID Controller, 2GB NV Cache
1 x Intel Ethernet I350 QP 1Gb Network Daughter Card
Is there anything to be done with this choice of the hardware?
Thanks for your help!
Kind regards
