Can we setup a call for Monday with our sales engineers?
If so, 2pm PST is available.
Thanks for the offer, but I think the shipping cost will be a
disadvantige (don't think you have free shipping to sweden) and 9h time
difference, but over all I guess you would give a better service than
your swedish counterparts.

Nice, so that's two votes for silicon mechanics then :)

the 10g stuff is awesome. we just finished a POC with Silicon mech,
(100TB)
and we saw 300-450MB/s over 10Ge. We had no time to tune, but I am sure
we
could have pushed 600MB/s with some tuning.

Supermicro makes some awesome hardware. Should meet every one of your
requirements, and is WAY cheaper than Dell.

They're a well respected reseller of supermicro hardware. I know I've
seen some of their stuff with infiniband, but not sure about 10gb
ethernet yet. I know you can get lots of addon cards, and they sell
quad port 1gb cards I know for sure. If you call their sales people
though, they'd be able to tell you for sure on 10GbE
Oh, and their stuff has KVM over lan functionality (my favorite part).
I can mount an iso from my desktop to the server in another building,
and install an os on the bare hardware without ever physically
touching it.
Hope that helps!

Hi,
We are looking into setting up a glusterfs cluster to store VM images
(for
KVM and VMware). Usually we have machines from Dell, but we haven't
found
any good machine to use which allows a good amount of disk space and
possibility to have at least 4 NICs (we are thinking about using 10
gigabit
network, otherwise we need to bond and use more NICs).
Sure we could buy just off the shelf stuff to keep the cost down, but we
are
looking for having a good hardware support (to be sure if something
breaks
down, that we will get spare parts).
Does anyone here have suggestion on hardware that can do the following:
1. having iDrac or similar (remote access to console)
2. at least 4 NICs which can be 10 gigabit (this for redundancy).
3. have an architecture which is supported by gluster (with other words
no
mc68k).
4. having space enough for a good amount of disks or jbod that can be
connected to the machine (please no suggestion on Promise jbods).
5. It has to be rack mounted
If suggesting something else than Dell, please give some price
indication on
the hardware, don't care if it's accurate or not, just that I get some
understanding if it's something that can fit our budget.
Thanks in advance for your replies.
