1118302 2010-07-12 23:30:00 Hi All,

So usually I use the D510MO, but they don't support virtualization.

I've got myself 10 1U Rackmount cases already, but what I'm hoping for is a CPU / Motherboard combo that ideally has gigabit LAN (Though not crucial) that'll support virtualization.

Quad-core would be a bonus but not a major, dual-core would be cool. Needs to support 8GB RAM.

Any ideas? To be honest I'm not having much luck searching ...

Cheers


Chill.

1118303 2010-07-12 23:50:00 One of these ? (www.procase.co.nz). Looks like theyre in Glenfield. The CPU maybe on the mobo? But, I dont think these support VT. Or support up to 8 GB Speedy Gonzales (78)
1118304 2010-07-13 01:06:00 Yeah I've dealt with ProCase a lot in the past. Not a fan of the VIA stuff, they're *terribly* underpowered. Get more grunt out of the dual-core Atom D510MO boards I've been using ;)

Thanks though.

Any other ideas?

What hyper-visor are you going to use and which class? VMware is fussy about hardware!

1118306 2010-07-13 02:10:00 I'm hoping to use Proxmox VE to be honest Chilling_Silence (9)
1118307 2010-07-13 03:57:00 Looks like I may be able to get these:
pbtech.co.nz ( ark.intel.com )
pbtech.co.nz
www.procase.co.nz

Now the problem is making sure that the power supply that's in this 1U Case will be enough to power the CPU + 2x 2.5" HDDs!

Proxmox VE, is that a Linux app?, is it class 1 or 2 hyper-visor?

It's a linux distro that's a Host OS.

To be honest I'm not entirely sure. I do know it's based off KVM:

Hmmm, looks like type 1, however TBH, i think you would be better off with Citrix XenServer
