@doerk Natürlich wird sowas immer teurer sein...

Ich habe 2020 schon Firmen geholfen, nen "Cloud Exit" zu machen und konsequent inhouse zu konsolidieren.

  • Das kostet initiell schon was, aber die Investition rentiert sich z.T. binnen weniger Quartale oder gar Monaten!

Außerdem erlaubt es Kontrolle und Compliance mit Datenschutz und IT-Sicherheit, welche Firmen mit Niederlassungen (oder auch nur Zweigstellen, nicht nur Sitz!) in den USA [wie auch "V.R." China] nicht einhalten können, weil Cloud Act das denen verbietet!

@uastronomer it's something I.did implement in the past (abeit #KVM + #Proxmox, but the steps are similar enough):

You can seperate #Storage and #Compute given you have a Storage-LAN that is fast enough (and does at least 9k if not 64k Jumbo Frames) and have the "Compute Nodes" entirely #diskless (booting via #iPXE from the #SAN) and then mount the storage via #iSCSI or #Ceph.

  • Basically it allows you to scale Compute and Storage independently from each other as they are transparent layers and not be confined to limits of a single chassis & it's I/O options...

Did a bigger project (easily 8-digits in hardware, as per MSRP) where a Employer/Client did #CloudExit amidst escalating costs and #ROI being within quarters (if not months at the predicted growth rate)...
