Reduce Power Consumption - Move Unraid to ESX


Recommended Posts

Hi All,

 

I am using almost a steady 1kwh, and I need to reduce as its costing about $350 a month.  I was thinking more moving Unraid to ESX, and passing the HBA cards thru to VM, but worried about speed.   Do you think it would be impacted much?  

 

Unraid server has 1 Netapp DS4246 (and possibly one more added once multi-array is added as its full), and 1 DS2246

 

So I was thinking of 2 options. 

 

1 - Move UNRAID to ESX VM

2 - Move ESX VMs to Unraid.

 

Unraid Server  Specs - dl380 g9

2x E5-2620v4

256GB 

 

ESX1 dl380 g8 (2 more not usually ever on)

E5-2680v2

288GB
