Hi,
I wish to build two systems, install XenServer on both the systems to create a cluster. The following is the configuration that I am looking at for each system --
It would be awesome if hardware gurus can guide me and help me make the right hardware choices.
Thanks!
I wish to build two systems, install XenServer on both the systems to create a cluster. The following is the configuration that I am looking at for each system --
CPU Intel Core i7-6700K 4.0GHz Quad-Core Processor
CPU Cooler Noctua NH-L9x65 33.8 CFM CPU Cooler
Motherboard Asus Z170-A ATX LGA1151 Motherboard

Approximate Purchase Date: April 1, 2016
Budget Range: Before Rebates & After Shipping - $1400 per system
System Usage: Mentioned below
Are you buying a monitor: No
Do you need to buy OS?: No
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Don't care

Purpose: Build XenServer cluster at home. The primary purpose of these systems will be to host multiple VMs that processes massive amount of data (50+G/week) and serve large amount of graphics. Some of the VMs are hardware intensive and they will easily need 20-25GB ram and really fast (possibly quard core?) processors.
It would be awesome if hardware gurus can guide me and help me make the right hardware choices.
Thanks!
