Finally! After 2 months I have finally got it... THE virtualization server we always wanted. We got the cheapest price from a work college who does school IT kit now for next to nothing. A branded server- Fujitsu Primergy RX2540 M1.Specs are as following:

  • 2x Intel Xeon E5-2620v3 (6c/12t) @2.4GHz
  • 64GB DDR4 RAM @ 2133MHz in quad channel
  • 3x 300GB SAS drives 15K in RAID 5
  • 6x 3TB Hard Drives (WD Enterprise) in RAID 6
  • 2x PRAID EP400i
  • 4x additional SATA ports at the back- we might do SSD caching in the future
  • 4x Emulex 10GBASE-T ports
  • 2x Intel 10GB over fiber
  • 2x 800W 80+ Platinum PSUs
  • 5 years next day on site help :)

MMMM... give me 5 minutes alone :D

This baby is already running 11 virtual machines, using on average 70% CPU all the time with 60GB RAM utilization.
