Hi, maybe u can give m addvice to the rs1619xs+ from Synology.
We need to replace the 7 year old and still bravely running servers in the company. We got 2 Xeon single socket machines and configured them to a small failover-cluster-system (i know, realy small 🙂 ). That tiny cluster hosts a win2003 Server, a firebird db and a small application Server for about 5-10 users.
I want to replace that tiny cluster with 2 of the rs1619 devices and upgrade the virtual win2003 with a win2016/2019 essentialls server, of course also VM.
When i told our main hardware supplyer about that plan, he allmost called me crazy and said it would absolutely Impossible that the 2 rs1619 could handle that load.
Whats do u think? Have u done something like that allready? Maybe in the best case even got a tutorial for Case like this or somewhere Close?
Your hardware supplier should checks specs again. You could run 4 windows servers on it and still feel room for extra things to run. You don’t even need to install a Windows server on a virtual machine. If all you need is a domain controller, then Synology has built in most of the windows server functions.
Synology rack might massively benefit from a 10GbE upgrade. Four LAN ports could give you a potential of 4Gb/s bandwidth when link aggregated or used for load balancing. But everyone already is upgrading their networks to 10GbE, because it has become quite affordable.
Here are some specs and other info I found related to this question:
