My 900W per server number comes from experience with “hyper-converged” infrastructure where each 2U node has two filled CPU sockets, gobs of RDIMMs, and is stuffed with flash-based storage.
I think this is the most common “enterprise” datacenter server type in 2021, mostly due to licensing constraints from VMware/Microsoft/Red Hat/Oracle/etc. Such servers give the most “bang” per dollar when licensing costs are included.
- lillecarl 5y agoWe're running VMware with vSAN on 1u nodes with 2x Xeon Gold 8 core cpus @ 3.6ghz base, something about the Microsoft SPLA licensing as we're mainly virtualizing Windows machines. 384 GB RAM per node, and we're just pulling about 400. https://i.imgur.com/Zr5rq4X.png https://i.imgur.com/Zr5rq4X.png a graph if you're curious :)
