So tell me, who can utilize the following hardware and justify the costs(Xeon E5s)?

Lifer
Two E5-2687Ws v4
Compatible mobo
128GB+ RAM

Everything else doesn't really matter...except that they add to a system that already commands over $5000.

Just a matter of curiosity, because I am certainly not building one any time in the near future. But if get a really nice job, I admit that this would become a temptation.
 
You're asking who would make use of that kind of hardware? I mean, it'd make a decent low-level VM host for a small business, could probably be an admirable SQL server or something. Not really sure what the question is though, most single-purpose servers have more hardware than they need unless it's something *very* demanding.
 
must admit this does look pretty cool 🙂

I wish I still had the snip I took from my last workcenter, of a *very* beefy RHEL6 VM absolutely wrecking a VM host with Nessus... was over 40GHz supplied to that one VM, capped out all the cores on it.

damn - can you give a rough estimate of the VMware licensing costs on something like that?

No idea, not my department. The dangers of working for a big company. I'd guess high five figures, though.

Although ESX is licensed per socket. That's "only" 12 sockets, 12 or 14-core CPUs, 6 hosts, 512GB RAM per host.

Got about a dozen like that here. Primarily Asigra for OS/File level backups, SAN replication for datastore level backups.

Thanks was wondering more about OS/File level type backups and retention periods when you guys have these insane sized storage amounts to take care of

PS can you post a screencap of the CPU perf window so I can drool?

Retention periods vary by customer and data.

These are VMWare hosts, not really sure what you're wanting to see CPU wise.
