I'm planning a new proxmox install in a rack for some services that we are planning to offer and I'm trying to decide if what I'm doing is the best way to handle it. The idea is provide a couple of servers for Remote Desktop Purposes, basically a 2008 RDS server likely to handle 75 users.
We will have two C6100 host servers that have 4 blades each. Two blades of each server will have Proxmox installed, giving me essentially four proxmox servers. Each of these four servers will have a single Intel SSD for Proxmox to run from. Each of these machines have two Intel 82576 Gigabit nics, one nic will be going to a HP Procurve 1810 switch for connectivity and one will be going to another 1810 Procurve for access to a NAS device.
Now this is where I'm not sure which way I should go. I'm looking at FreeNAS as a storage option but also at a Synology device. I figure that iSCSI would be the best to host the VM images and have a separate NFS storage on the NAS for backups.
Does anyone have any thoughts or ideas on this setup? My main concern is performance issues. Thanks for any feedback.
