Hi All, I'm thinking about upgrading to 10 Gig storage network for my clusters. Current servers are dell 610 with H700 Raid controller, 2 drives in Raid1 for OS and 4 drives in Raid10 for NFS shared storage to the hypervisor nodes. Network is 2xGigabit up links to all servers and storage. Load from the hypervisors is are about 200 Linux servers and about 20 Win servers. I'm not seeing any issue currently in normal operations, but I can see disk IO wait states on storage servers periodically when some of the VMs are booting or tasking storage, creating new VM disks. All storage array disks are currently 15K SAS spinners, no SSDs.
I'm considering upgrading to SSD caching server with conventional storage disk back end. Main thing is to get network up to 10Gig. Building servers from scratch is OK but I'd also like to hear about some turnkey options. Storage requirement is currently under 10TB. Any suggestions are welcome. Thanks.
