Hi All,
I was ask by my boss to setup Test/QA environment for my work. Here are the basics:
1. I will be buying an HP Proliant rack mount server (model undecided) with enought 32GB RAM, 2x75GB HD for the OS.
2. I will install Microsoft 2008 Hyper-V to host several virtual server.
3. I want to use an external NAS to hold all my virtual disks. I need something that can attached to the server w/ decent performance.
My question to all is, what should I do as far as the NAS goes? With limited budget, $1500 for the NAS. Should I get a ReadyNAS NVX and using iSCSI and do I need to buy additional iSCSI controller?
I am looking for recommendations/options.
Thanks in advance.
