Re: HPE server recommendation for DC + 25TB fileserver MSA, StoreEasy, StoreVirtual
Hi Alexandre,
Firstly, I would completely discount Storevirtual - it's a dead product.
For your scenario, just being a domain controller and file server, I'd probably go with a simple setup using Windows Server with the Hyper-V role and use a simple storage space using a DAS shelf. An MSA would be an alternative option but will cost you more. If you don't require any HA then a standalone server will do the trick. Make sure you run the DC and file server as two VM's to provide you a bit more flex and security.
If you are licensing the server with CIS Std/DC then you could use SCDPM for backups but will require an external target (unless of course you do basic snapshots to the same disk). Again, if you wanted HA you could consider an MSA, or an S2D two-node cluster (either will require two server nodes) but S2D will require CIS Datacenter licensing.
As for hardware, the DL380 option is better if you need local disk which could meet your <25TB requirement without an expansion shelf.
Not sure about ShadowProtect, I've never used it but assume it will work with pretty much any solution with caveats.
Do you have a particular budget?
Cheers,
Ben
