We've been looking at costs to migrate to AF-4 readynodes from a hybrid setup with 5x 2U servers, we currently have a 10CPU license for VSAN and would like to look at 10x 1U servers to take advantage of Raid 6 and give us piece of mind with the extra availability. I've been looking through readynode configs and most of the 1U boxes are 2xCPU.
I've had quotes from our local Supermicro distributor based on building using HCL components - the costs look good, but I'd prefer something that was supported and recommended by VMWare.
Is anyone running the above config successfully? Single CPU, 1U readynodes with a single disk group in each?
Thanks
Alain
