Hi there:
After months of thinking, I took the step to switch my lab to Proxmox,
I’ve been a Vmware «guy» for many years, but I knew the time came to give it a try, after many companies switching to it.
I decided to re-use the hardware I had from previous projects, to see the capabilities and «how tiny» the setup could be.
Here we go:
The hardware Im using is the following
- 3 x Zima Board – 8GB RAM, Intel Celeron 4 Core
- 3 x SSD 240GB (OS)
- 3 x SSD 480GB (Storage)
- 1 x Managed 1Gbps 8p Switch (HPE Office Connect)
- Ethernet cables
This hardware was laying around in my lab from previous projects,
and now looks super cool!
The electrical consumption is very low.
Im monitoring it, but for now, 10W each node….. xD
Few more pictures here:
Cheers.
