hello if it's only for a poc you can try to rent devices for some month. for less that 100€ per month you can get this kind of device at ovh.com - 32go RAM - Intel Xeon-E 2274G - 4 c/8 t - 4 GHz/4.9 GHz - 3× 4 To HDD SATA Soft RAID or 2× 960 Go SSD NVMe Soft RAID - 2 x 2Gbps network Personnaly I use bunch of them for my kubernetes prod (the one with 2× 960 Go SSD NVMe) and it's working pretty well. You can tweak to get more or different disk setup, more ram, more network speed. Everything is here : https://www.ovh.com/fr/serveurs_dedies/infra/tarifs/ The device I'm talking about is INFRA-1 oau Le dimanche 08 mars 2020 à 19:00 -0700, Ignacio Ocampo a écrit : > Hi team, I'm planning to invest in hardware for a PoC and I would > like your > feedback before the purchase: > > The goal is to deploy a *16TB* storage cluster, with *3 replicas* > thus *3 > nodes*. > > System configuration: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/cfDpDx ($400 USD > per > node) > > Some notes about the configuration: > > - 4-core processor for 4 OSD daemons > - 8GB RAM for the first 4TB of storage, that will increase to 16GB > of > RAM when 16TB of storage. > - Motherboard: > - 4 x SATA 6 Gb/s (one per each OSD disk) > - 2 x PCI-E x1 Slots (1 will be used for an additional Gigabit > Ethernet) > - 1 x M.2 Slots for the host OS > - Ram can increase up-to 32 GB, and another SATA 6b/s > controller can > be added on PCI-E x1 for growth up to *32TB* > > As noted, the plan is to deploy nodes with *4TB* and gradually add > *12TB* as > needed, memory also should be increased to *16GB* after *8TB* > threshold. > Edit > Questions to validate before the purchase > > 1.
