> How do you do failover if a server fails

Not sure if you do not know anything about typical ESXi and vSphere setups, but if a server fails, all virtual machines are automatically migrated to a healthy server. And of course, your HPE G10s are compute only, all storage is on the fiber channel connected SAN.




You don’t get 17 server licenses for vSphere or a SAN for $55k as outlined above. More like $500k plus another $100k/year in maintenance.

You’re still paying a cloud provider, but in this case it’s VMware


Yep! We have a KVM and Ceph based setup but it's basically the same as you describe.
