Proxmox HCI

[luigi]

Hello everybody,
I would like to create a Proxmox solution for HCI with three nodes that function as storage and HA clusters for some VMs.

The three nodes will have the following characteristics:
2x CPU 8Cores (for Windows limited license)
128 GB of DDr4 RAM
2x 240GB HD SSD mirrored for proxmox
4x HD SSD 1TB for OSD
6x HD 8TB 7.2Krpm for backup
1x QuadPort Eth1G
1x QuadPort Eth10G

About the VM workload, the HCI solution will works as Windows terminal server .

The VMs will be: 8 Session host, 2 Broker, 2 Web Access, 2 AD


Any suggestion?


Regards

Are you planning a full mesh network? Additionally, make sure to use enterprise grade SSDs.

Yes, I am planning a full mesh network without switch 10G. Is it ok?

About SSD, I will buy enterprise grade.

Other considerations?

best regards

If you use Ceph, you can check out our Ceph Benchmark to see what performance you can expect from your setup. You can also use ZFS for your mirrors.
