Hi, For fileserver a E10k system? How much I/O do you need? Most likely what I would advice, it would be a system capable of dealing with I/O. V490 or V890. The new ones M4000/M5000 I don't have enought experience about those.
Well ... if you use a fileserver that uses lots of threads I would advice T5120, it's cpu is Niagara 2 that has 8 cores witch each core has 8 threads giving a total of 64 processes/threds (the same as E10K). The speed is Higher 1.4 Ghz per core. The downside is that you won't have lots of pci for the connection with the storage. Either way, in that case I T5220 can solve the pci problem. Either way, usually what I see and the system that has most PCI for high I/O is V890.
