=== deng_c is now known as deng
onatsanyone here fully deployed ubuntu sa corporate?14:54
Terminus-partial lang. =D14:54
onatshirap mag convince ng old schoolers14:55
onatspati open office ayaw14:55
Terminus-ah... we use openoffice everywhere. the exception would be engineering which requires excel integration and payroll coz the bank has a crapload of macros on their spreadsheet.14:56
onatstamang tama14:58
onatspwede mag rant dito14:58
onatskesyo di aligned blah blah14:58
onatse di bumili nalnag kayo ng license14:58
onatstaena14:58
Terminus-hehe14:59
Terminus-for internal office work, oo.o works fine. sometimes even when exchanging files externally. it only falls flat when you need to integrate with proprietary software or deal with people who use a ton of macros.15:00
onatswala nga eh15:00
onatsformulas and quotations lang15:00
Terminus-oh, it also collapses when you have 50,000 rows and the last row depends on the previous ad infinitum with complex equations and crap.15:02
onatsdon't have spreadsheets like that15:04
onatsdapat naka DB na yan pag ganon15:04
onatslol15:04
Terminus-i agree. =D15:04
Terminus-at dapat hindi na dbf. hahaha15:04
onatseto pa15:06
onatswe have like 17 servers15:06
onatsna kasya naman sa 2 servers na naka vm15:06
Terminus-hehe. i've been pushing for replacing all our servers and replacing it with a streamlined VM + SAN. also, they're due for retirement anyway.15:08
Terminus-SAN doesn't have to be expensive. can be centos configured as a target. i'll still call it a "SAN" =D15:09
onatsdi rin pwede15:15
onatscorporate reseller din kami15:16
onatsso kelangan 'branded' hardware15:16
onatsdi uso opensource15:16
Terminus-well, EMC and netapp don't seem so bad when you're scaling up. =)15:17
Terminus-i have this dream mini-itx build coupled with nexentastor that should give those a run for their money though.15:18
onatsanong nexentastor15:19
Terminus-SAN software based on solaris.15:19
onatswhats the connectivity?15:29
onatsiscsi?15:30
onatsuy zfs15:30
onatsany recommended config15:31
Terminus-yeah... you can do FC to if you want.15:31
onatsdepende nalnag sa HW i guess15:31
Terminus-yep, zfs. the biggest reason to use it.15:31
Terminus-if i was building one and sourcing parts wasn't an issue, i'd go with portwell wade-2011, xeon e3, 8GB RAM, seasonic psu, and a lian-li pcq08b.15:32
onatsshouldn't be an issue15:33
onatseasy to bring in stuff15:33
onatsok na tong portwell wade-2011?15:33
onatsso puro SATA?15:33
onatshot swap naman tong ZFS diba15:33
Terminus-it's the only board that fits my requirements.15:33
onatsparang maliit ah15:33
onatscan't add interfaces15:34
Terminus-hot swap has nothing to do with the filesystem.15:34
onatsago to home use?15:34
onatsits in the HW?15:34
onatsmagkano to?15:34
Terminus-no. more like buy lots of those instead of spending a huge chunk of change on enterprise hardware.15:34
Terminus-so i didn't bother with hotswap. everything is internal.15:34
onatshow much is this?15:35
onatssweet15:35
Terminus-can't remember. haha15:35
onatscore series na15:35
Terminus-whoops... it's wade-8011, not 2011.15:36
onatsdi rin ganon ka mura15:36
onats$74315:37
onatsill just buy a mac mini15:37
Terminus-a mac mini can't fit 6 3.5" drives. =P15:38
Terminus-and doesn't have dual intel gigabit.15:38
onatsanong casing nito?15:39
onatsatx?15:39
Terminus-mini-itx15:39
onatsdi to tatanggapin sa enterprise dito sa pinas15:39
onatsanjan pa run mindset ng big, bulky and mean looking machines15:40
Terminus-i've run the costs before. if you're gonna buy name brand rack mount plus nexentastor license, might as well just buy EMC or netapp.15:41
Terminus-the only way i saw the cost going down was by saving on hardware costs.15:41
Terminus-in any case, we've already discussed this build to death in ##hardware. even replaced the e3-1225 with the new pentium 350, assuming it's available via retail.15:43
onats18TB naman yung opensource version15:44
onatsso libre15:44
Terminus-yeah... it's when you scale up where you start paying. also HA and stuff.15:44
onatsayun15:45
onatsHA15:45
onatsgot any links for architecture?15:45
onatsincluding hardware?15:45
Terminus-what architecture? it's just x86.15:46
Terminus-with the hardware i specced, the hardest to acquire is the motherboard.15:47
Terminus-if you mean nexentastor itself, you can just check out their website.15:47
onatsno15:48
onatsyung hardware config15:48
onatslike the board15:48
onatstapos 6 sata HDDS?15:49
onatsthat it?15:49
onatslike redunandcy and stuff15:49
onatspwede yun?15:49
onats2 units of this?15:49
onatsparang maliit ata yung 2GB na interface15:49
Terminus-yup. that's the idea. add two managed switches so that you can do multipath. if you want something faster than 2x GbE, add an FC or 10GbE card.15:49
onatsif multi path, that still works as a 2GbE link?15:50
Terminus-can't remember. in any case, 10GbE is certainly better than 10x GbE15:51
onatspag 10GB 15:52
onatsmahal naman yung switch15:52
Terminus-yup. that's only if you need it though.15:53
Terminus-i can live with 2x GbE15:53
kidsodatelessgood morning!21:19
