XCP-ng or Proxmox
Hardware System
It’s prudent to describe the machines I am going to use for the hypervisor, so the setup is as follows:
| Machine | Description |
|---|---|
| Main Server |
AMD ® Ryzen® 3600
64 GB of DDR4 3200 MHz RAM
250 GB NVMe
2 port SFP+ @ 10 Gbps
|
| Secondary Server |
Intel® Xeon® CPU E3-1230 v3 (4 Cores + HT)
32 GB of DDR3 ECC
6x 2TB Hitachi
6 port Ethernet @ 1 Gbps
|
| Tertiary Server |
Intel® Celeron® CPU 3865U
16 GB RAM (Sodimm)
250 WD HDD
6 port Ethernet @ 1 Gbps
|
| NAS |
Intel® Xeon® CPU E31260L @ 2.40GHz
16 GB of DDR3 ECC 4x 8TB, 60 GB Cache (SSD), 250 ZLOG (SSD)
|
The network switch is Unifi 48 (Non POE).
All virtual machines (VM) will all be running on the Main Server, the secondary server will only be powered up if needed. All VM disks are stored on storage local to the server, with backups saved on the NAS.
The main server has a dedicated 10 Gbps connection to the NAS, while the two backup machines have 4x 1Gbps Intel networking back to the switch.
