Yes, the servers that will run the Hypervisor with ANSOS need not have hard disks, thus allowing a greater flexibility of exchange servers and high availability. Nodes with ANSOS be responsible only for processing virtual machines. As you already know that virtuas machines are just files, they need not necessarily coexist in the same server hypervisor.

Servers Deployment Options

No matter what type of server you have for your project with the Archipel, use ANSOS as Hypervisor allows you to use a range of server options without the need they have hard drives and cd-roms or dvd-roms. The servers need to have at least one network card compatible with pxe boot.

  • Slim Servers
  • Blade Servers
  • Open Compute Servers

See the requirements FAQ for the minimum hardware to run ANSOS.

State-of-the-Art DataCenter with OpenCompute Project

A very interesting project that you can join the ANSOS and Archipel is OpenCompute.org, this is a new and more economically feasible for the assembly of a datacenter.
