They even make some silencer style enclosures for a 1U and a 2U UPS setup that can sit anywhere in the office.<br /><br />We use APC's enclosures for all of our rack mount needs.<br /><br />Occasionally we will mount some equipment on the wall such as switches or such. We source those from a local electrical distribution point.<br /><br />PhilipPhilip Elder Cluster MVPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06082028960643490292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5976686513564131325.post-3566637643197934702010-10-12T07:58:32.030-06:002010-10-12T07:58:32.030-06:00I am curious to know what brand of small rack you ...I am curious to know what brand of small rack you are using to mount the server and firewall etc....jasperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10250723271658745798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5976686513564131325.post-61834746784490861422010-10-09T13:05:56.942-06:002010-10-09T13:05:56.942-06:00280GB is a starting point for an entry level serve...280GB is a starting point for an entry level server configuration.<br /><br />For a 5-7 seat client looking for TS RemoteApps tied into their SBS 2008 setup this setup would work fine.<br /><br />It would not be too much in the way of cost increase to bump the drives up to 300GB 15K SAS drives for a 600GB storage total.<br /><br />The host OS would get its own partition on the RAID 10 array with a swap file parition and then a partition for the VM's VHDs.<br /><br />We would use VHDTool to create our empty Fixed VHDs for our SBS and TS/RDS VMs.<br /><br />PhilipPhilip Elder Cluster MVPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06082028960643490292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5976686513564131325.post-17208807845145482532010-10-08T20:05:13.954-06:002010-10-08T20:05:13.954-06:00How would you recommend partitioning your drives? ...How would you recommend partitioning your drives?
