Which netgear nas for our smb?
Hi, In our non-profit organization we have currently 1 ESX host with 5 Windows VM's. - 3 of them are small stuff (antivirus, ...), - 1 windows AD + fileserver for 30 users - 1 small SQL serve...
Do you think you would be saturating the gigE throughput at any point? If not, then the Pro 6 should be powerful enough -- the CPU and the RAID subsystem can handle more than 2X of the gigE throughput. That said, with 5 VMs and potentially more in the future, you may want to consider the 4200, a 12-bay rackmount with a quad-core Xeon with 10G networking. This coupled with one of the NETGEAR 10G switches would give you quite a bit of bandwidth for the VMs and capacity growth.
