Hi team,
We're looking into replacing a 6 year old server setup at customer site with a 3 node Dell R660xs cluster based on Prox, and a ME5024 storage box.
However, reading about Ceph has got me thinking - would it make better sense to skip that ME5024, and equip the 3 nodes with internal storage instead, and use Ceph as storage controller?
The ME5024 was to be installed with 12 x 1,92TB SAS SSD's, replicating that to internal storage would be times 3 of that I guess.
What would be the best practice setup, and your recommendations?
