Remote Site Relay Hardware

I need to spec out hardware for Relays to place at "Remote" locations. These systems don't need to have massive processors or tons of RAM, they just need a decent network connection, and they need to be cheap.

After a little Googling I found these systems ...

Our Facilities Manager doesn't like them because they don't have Dual Power Supplies. My thought is "that's fine", I plan to use them in an N+1 configuration for each location anyway. If there is even dual power available at a location, we can always connect the even numbered units to one leg of power and the odd numbered units to the other leg of power. If power fails at a site, my guess is most of the workstations will go with it, and there won't be a huge need for the Relays ANYWAY.

The Solutions

It looks like it's going to be a combination of both the RS140 and the X3250 from Lenovo.

  • Lenovo RS140
    • Low Cost
    • Mountable in 2 post rack systems (TelComm Racks)
    • Single Power Supply
  • Lenovo X3250-m5
    • Low Cost
    • Mountable in standard server racks
    • Dual Power Supplies available as an option

History

The search for inexpensive rackable computers with Dual Power Supplies until I can convince someone it's a bad idea.
