I dont run server anything. I have dell 7050's running a VMware/virtualization lab. They can have 64GB of ram and can handle anything i throw at them. Not iKVM

I dont run server anything. I have dell 7050's running a VMware/virtualization lab. They can have 64GB of ram and can handle anything i throw at them. Not iKVM though. But i just walk across the room and hook up a monitor the one or two times a year i need to. Honestly Synology has been the best godsend. I was a SAN admin in a previous life. I have run freenas, openfiler, openfiler in HA, linux+NFS+iSCSI etc over the years. Synology generally makes it simple and totally integrated and allows me to play with other things rather than getting storage working.
