It’s been a little while since I’ve posted, hence this post.
Within the next week I’ll be receiving a custom built Dell PowerEdge 2900 III server, and I’ll be posting unpacking pictures and a setup tutorial post. Some of the specs:
- Two Intel Quad-Core Xeon Processors (E5420) @ 2.5Ghz (2x6MB L2 Cache)
- 16GB DDR2 667Mhz RAM
- 4x 250GB SATA2 HDDs (hot swappable) in a RAID 10 Array
- Redundant Power Supply
This setup will be running Windows Server 2008 Enterprise with Hyper-V, hosting two virtual environments (a Server 2008 Terminal Server and an Exchange 2007 Server). More details to follow!
Update (02-April-09): The hardware and software are in! Tomorrow I’ll live blog the setup process!
