HIS-MOTHER Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 Check this out. kinda cramped on drive space, but sharing one case along with 1 P/S is gonna cut down on rackspace and power consumption. http://news.com.com/Supermicro+puts+two+servers+in+one+chassis/2100-1010_3-6147692.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECF Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 Not a good idea. What happens if a power supply goes? You lose 2 servers, not just one! Also what happens if the RAM, CPU or drive goes bad on one of them? You still need to unplug the whole box to access and replace the bad hardware. Again leaving you 2 servers down...

HIS-MOTHER Posted January 8, 2007 Author Share Posted January 8, 2007 I never said it was perfect, they still have some work to do on them. My guess is you can kill power to one board at a time somehow. I seriously doubt supermicro would release a product without thinking about that. Other than a P/S going and we all know they do. It looks like it might be a solution for some people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stealth Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 defo has advantages. The cost saving could outweigh the inconvenience of having 2 servers down if there's a power failure. And it never takes long to get parts swapped out if your on site. We havn't had a psu fail in about a year and a half . Maybe we're lucky! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
