Here you can see the physical setup of the cluster. Our
main goal was to keep the cost down but still achieve a compact and robust
cluster design.
- 11 heavy duty steel shelves
- 16 nodes per shelf
- 1 Gigabit (24-port) switch per shelf
- 2 nodes share a 1200VA UPS
Total hardware cost per node (including switches, UPS, shelving) is below
$600. |
