Planning: New 100TB+ storage server.

I thought some of you might be interested in the planning of my new storage server.
 
 
My current server is no longer cutting it for me as it's fallen down to the 10th place on the 10TB + topic so its time for a new server that is "a bit large".
I also want to shrink my amount of chassis to just two chassis for all my servers.
This is why my new server will be using a Supermicro Twin Server.
 
A Supermicro Twin series system has 2 motherboards in one chassis so I can uses one for virtualization and one for storage..
I'm currently looking at this one:
 
SYS-6028TR-DTR
SuperServer 6028TR-DTR
SYS-6027TR-D71QRF.jpg
 
It has 2 dual socket 2011 v3 motherboards.
 
 
Motherboard/system 1 (Hypervisor machine) will have the following installed on it / connected to it:
2x Intel Xeon E5-2650 v3 (10 core @2,3Ghz)
96GB DDR4 2133MHz ECC Kingston RAM (probably buying 3 "KVR21R15D4K4/64" kits in total for both systems so 96GB in sys1 and 32 in sys2)
4x 480GB Intel Solid State Drive 730 (RAID 10)
(Might add a 400GB or 800GB intel PCI-e 3.0 Solid-State Drive DC P3700 as I would like to try one out.)

Remaining PCI slots are to be filled with NIC's

 

 

Motherboard/system 2 (storage machine) will have the following installed on it / connected to it:
1x Intel Xeon E5-2630 v3
32GB DDR4 2133MHz ECC Kingston RAM (see system 1)
2x 240GB Intel Solid State Drive 730 (RAID 1)

 

 

Now,

If you have studied algebra you may have noticed that I'm at least 97TB short of the promised 100TB.....
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And that is where this baby kicks in:

 

CSE-847E16-RJBOD1
SuperChassis 847E16-RJBOD1
 
sc847e1-e2-r1400_front_1.jpg
 24 Drives in the front.
2013122711230737439.jpg
And 21 in the rear...
 
847E16_RJBOD1_6.jpg

This 45 bay system comes with redundant PSU SAS expander so all it needs is a HBA or RAID card to control it and some harddrives.
I will most likely use 30 4TB Seagate Barracuda drives (ST4000DM000)

 

I have yet to decide which HBA I'm going to use (probably LSI)

This HBA will of course be installed in system 2 and will connect the 2 chassis together using 2 SFF-8088 cables (the most sexy computer cable ever)

That's all I have so far.

ETA for purchase of components is January / February 2015

With 12G/s SAS of course! Go for the gold! Or in Looney terms, Schnitzel!

I roll with sigs off so I have no idea what you're advertising.

 

This is NOT the signature you are looking for.

How much for a Linux VM (two cores, 1GB RAM) and some storage (<500GB's) ;)

This would be my ideal server. Has 64 or 80 TB of storage and enough power i can run win 7 in a vm to render my video editing projects and run many linux servers in vm's.

That should not be a problem.

@Ssoele needs to upgrade his server as I currently back my data up to his server.

Also backed up on the cloud.

most likely yes. 

 

I'm still sold on software raid and i need the data system to run windows as i have some software that depends on that so that leaves me with flexRAID.
