Hi,
I'm considering placing a SoFS cluster in front of my existing SAN to allow a Hyper-V 2012 R2 cluster to use SMB 3.0 shares for storage. 10Gb Ethernet and 8Gb FC used. I would connect the Hyper-V cluster to SoFS with 10Gb Ethernet on separate storage VLAN and connect the SoFS nodes to the SAN with 8Gb FC. What type of servers would you recommend for this? I'm thinking something like 2x Dell R620 2x 12core xeon cpu, 128GB RAM with 4 10Gb ethernet NICs and 4 8Gb FC HBAs.
