Not OCP but regarding 12 3.5 drives in 1U with Decent CPU QCT makes the following: https://www.qct.io/product/index/Server/rackmount-server/1U-Rackmount-Server/QuantaGrid-S51G-1UL and have a few other models with some additional SSD included in addition to the 3.5"
Both of those compared here: https://www.qct.io/product/compare?model=1323,215 QCT does manufacture quite a few OCP models: this may fit the mold: https://www.qct.io/product/index/Rack/Rackgo-X-RSD/Rackgo-X-RSD-Storage/Rackgo-X-RSD-Knoxville#specifications On Fri, Dec 22, 2017 at 9:22 AM, Wido den Hollander <w...@42on.com> wrote: > > > On 12/22/2017 02:40 PM, Dan van der Ster wrote: > >> Hi Wido, >> >> We have used a few racks of Wiwynn OCP servers in a Ceph cluster for a >> couple of years. >> The machines are dual Xeon [1] and use some of those 2U 30-disk "Knox" >> enclosures. >> >> > Yes, I see.
