[RBD]Replace block device cluster

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



We’re looking to replace our existing RBD cluster, which makes and stores our backups. Atm we’ve got one machine running backuppc, where the RBD is mounted and 8 ceph nodes.

 

The idea is to gain in speed and/or pay less (or pay equally for moar speed).

 

Doubting to get SSD in the mix. Have I understood correctly that it’s useful for setting up a cache pool and / or for separating the journal? Can I use a different server for this?

 

 

Old specs (8 machines):

CPU:      Intel Xeon D1520 4c/8t 2.2 GHz/2.6 GHz

RAM:    32 GB DDR4 ECC 2133 MHz

Disks:    5x 6 TB SAS2

Public network card:      1 x 1  Gbps

 

40 disks, total of 1159.92 euro

 

Consideration for new specs:

3 machines:

CPU:      Intel  Xeon E5-2620v3 - 6c/12t - 2.4GHz /3.2GHz

RAM:    64GB DDR4 ECC 1866 MHz

Disks:    12x 4 TB SAS2

Public network card:      1 x 1  Gbps

 

36 disks for a total of 990 euro

 

10 machines:

CPU:      Intel  Xeon D-1521 - 4c/8t - 2,4GHz /2,7GHz

RAM:    16GB DDR4 ECC 2133MHz

Disks:    4x 6TB

Public network card:      1 x 1  Gbps

 

40 disks for a total of 940 euro

Perhaps in combination with SSD, this last option?!

 

Any advice is greatly appreciated.

 

How do you make your decisions / comparisons? 1 disk per OSD I guess, but  then, how many cores per disk or stuff like that?

 

Thanks in advance.
