HP Microserver G8 as "Veeam in a box"

Post by Eson »

Hi

Im thinking of using a HP Microserver as a "Veeam in a box" type of solution to put at the customer site to be able to perform fast restores and to have the data readily available. Then Ill pull the data to our site by putting up a cloud gateway. Perhaps Ill have to use WAN-acceleration for client with slower uploads.

Anyone has any experience running Veeam on a microserver G8, is it to weak for the job? I know it comes with different CPU-configs and the top of the line is with a Xeon E3. Limited to 16gb of RAM and not much of a storage controller to write home about.

Hi,

That mostly depends on the amount of jobs your are going to have, as well as total data size. Please refer to the system requirements.

Thank you.

We use these boxes with the Xeon CPU quite succesfully. We always go with the P222 raid controller.

Hi

Sorry, missed your response.

Did you come to the conclusion with the E3 Xeon and P222 after testing or did you go with this setup from the start?
