So I am working on a proof of concept system.
It isn't high CPU usage everything would run on a Raspberry PI but we need a few more things.
We need it to have a Min of 4GB of RAM, Dual Ethernet ports (we considered using USB to Ethernet but need the through put. ), and only need about 50GB of Disk, running CentOS or Ubuntu,then of course the big one id dual power supplies because we have to keep up and running.
The end goal will be a production box we can build and send to our sites racked and turn on after connections are made and then finish the last bit of configurations and leave it be.
I am looking at the SFF because of power consumption and being small of course. The more room we leave in rack for our clients the better plus not consuming as much power.
Currently we have a mixture of systems between Del , HP SuperMicro and a few others.
I am open for thoughts and inputs or if I am going the wrong direction all together , I have pretty versed in Linux world , and Virtual Machines. do to requirements we need these to be physical nodes.
Thanks in advance let me hear some ideas.
