Microsoft Hyper-V • Re: Very small deployment

@joloo,

I'm not Proxmox proficient, so can't comment on that part. I would just add the following:

1) If your DR plan includes running the VM on the VBR server while the original hardware is repaired/replaced, make sure the proposed storage has enough IOPS for that (e.g. if the server has SSD and hits it hard and you plan to recover to the RAID 1 w/7200 RPM spinners you may have a problem).

2) Consider Wasabi as part of a SOBR for the VM or if you just want the SQL data offsite, back up the needed part of the network file share you are already sending the SQL dumps to. Wasabi is cheap and configurable as immutable.

3) Not sure if it's less expensive or not, but the W680 chipset supports unbuffered ECC with supported desktop chips. I have a few running specialised workloads with E cores disabled. You can get 8 fast "P" cores and ECC support and IPMI that way. Enough for a small server and the cheaper Xeons (unless you go used) tend to have very low frequencies which can hurt performance if you don't need all the cores or mass amounts of RAM (192 GB max) or RAM bandwidth (limited to 2 channels). See, e.g. https://www.supermicro.com/en/products/ ... ard/x13sae
