Hey all,
I'm trying to get into virtualization a little bit, so I started looking at a few servers and narrowed my search down to these two:
Supermicro SC809 X7DWT-INF Single L5420 2.5Ghz. 8GB 1U Twin Server w/ SIMSO IPMI
Rackable NAS VMWare 16 Bay 2.5" SAS or SATA RAID Server JBOD Storage Array
Are they both capable of virtualization? Is the hardware RAID card on the Rackable NAS compatible with VMWare 5.0, or would it be better to stick with the Supermicro and purchase a RAID card that is VMWare 5.0 compatible separately?
Finally, am I going about this the right way?
Thanks
