Hello Guys,
pretty new to the StarWind forum but not for the awesome VSAN Software. We are a StarWind Partner in Germany and a new customer project will start tomorrow. If you are interested in real life performance benchmarks this thread is for you
Our customer will replace his aging 4 node Dell vSphere Cluster and Dell Equallogic storages with StarWind VSAN (All Flash). Dell Equallogic Storages are HDD based so random IOPS are very poor. Design was created and verified with the incredible pre sales engineering Team. Thanks Guys. It makes so much fun to Work with you.
After checking the customer needs and wishes we were ready to build an rocking StarWind Infrastructure. Because of the Budget we choose an Mixed Hyperconverged/Converged solution. 2 Server will build the Computing and Storage Stack while the two other ESXi will Connect via ISCSI to them. The new solution consists of:
4 x Dell PowerEdge R750 Server
2 x of them with 10x 3,84 TB vSAS SSD each with:
Dell H755 Raid Controller
768 GB RAM
Dual Intel Xeon Gold CPU
2x Mellanox Connect-x5 25 GbE SFP28 Adapter (ISCSI and SYNC)
1x Quad Port 25 GbE Adapter
Dell BOSS Card
2x Dell Power Switches from S Series (25 GbE)
2x Dell R650 Veeam Backup Servers with Local Storage + Tape Libary + Offsite Cloud Backup
As i wrote i will fill this thread with real Life Performance stats from this design as it can be useful for other Guys here
I look Forward to the Implementation and bilding phase
best regards
