Racked up an interesting bit of kit today. Very nice in deed. Supermicro Microcloud 5037MR-H8TRF. This beastie fits eight E5-2600 v2 based systems into just 3U height. The units that we have currently are fitted with 32GB of RAM, but can take up to 128GB. The additional dual gigabit ethernet modules were removed and dual 10G SFP+ adapters were fitted. Each blade also has IPMI and the ability to directly plug in KVM (via dongle). They look awesome. The front of the chassis contains 16 3.5" drives. Two disks per blade.
