What's your server wattage?

I'm in the process of wiring a home before moving in and getting excited about running 10g from my server to the computer. Then I see 25g gear isn't that much more expensive so I might was well run at least one fiber line. But what kind of three node ceph monster will it take to make use of any of this bandwidth (plus run all my...

I've got a 3 node Proxmox/ceph cluster with 10G, plus a separate Nas. They are all rack mount with dual PSU. Add in the necessary switching, and my average load is about 800w. Throw my desktop (also on 10G) into the mix and it runs 1.1kw.

That's roughly $50-60 extra in electricity costs for me monthly.

My 10G is far from saturated, but I do try and keep things using RAM where possible. I figure that with 100gb of DDR4 in my main server, that should be able to provide enough speed for a 10G link.

I've got ceph running on Intel Enterprise SSDs, so they are pretty quick.

I also tried running ceph on 1G. I found it unreliable as well.

I run a pretty hefty home lab, so my costs are fairly high compared to some.

  • Electricity: $70/mo
  • Internet: $55/mo (1000x35)
  • Cloud backup: $20/mo
  • Web firewall/IDS/IPS: $8.30/mo ($99/yr)
  • Domain/email: $15/yr
  • VPS: $1/mo

Overall: $155/mo

ZenArmor. It integrates nicely with Opnsense and offers all of the features that I was looking for.

I expose quite a few services to the web, so having that extra layer of protection is nice. And it allows me to control what leaves my network from an application perspective, not just TCP/UDP

I'm a Sysadmin, so my names are purely functional:

host-pmx-01 through 03, my 3 node Proxmox cluster

vm-[SERVICE], optional 01-03 if needed

ct-[SERVICE], for LXC containers

It makes it easy to reference things via DNS for service discovery.

Average load for me is about 750W. I run my desktop from one of the UPS units in my rack, so when that's on it sits around 1.1kW.

The 750W load is across 4 rack servers(1 is the NAS with 12 disks) and 3 switches.
