SVCS, nicknamed "Dracula's Castle", is the name given to any platform that I use for virtualization.

Current

"Polyethylene" is the hardware codename to the X8DAi that formerly made up a dual Intel Xeon X5670 workstation desktop I used for the majority of 2021. In February 2023, I repurposed the motherboard to be used as my main server to be able to sell off the Dell and HP rack servers that I used prior.

As of May 19, 2023, this continues to be my main virtualization server setup until the HP ProLiant blade servers are ready.

Specifications, as of April 27, 2023:

• Motherboard: Supermicro X8DAi
• Chassis: Supermicro CSE-825
• CPUs: 2x Intel Xeon X5670
• Memory: 6x 8GB Qimonda IMHH8GP22A1F2C-10F Registered ECC DDR3-1066
• Storage: 2x 1TB WD Black 7200RPM SATA
• Storage controller: LSI MegaRAID 9260-4i
• Network: 2x Integrated Intel Gbit + 2x Quad-port Gbit HP NC364T

Planned

In early May 2023, I acquired an HP BladeSystem C3000 with three HP ProLiant BL460c G8 systems installed.

SVCS1

SVCS1 would use the hardware platform "Methamphetamine", the system is optimized for larger amounts of virtual machines.

Specifications, planned:

• System: HP ProLiant BL460c G8
• CPUs: 2x Intel Xeon E5-2697 v2
• Memory: TBD
• Storage: 2x 600GB HGST SAS

SVCS2

SVCS2 would use the hardware platform "Dextroamphetamine", the system is optimized for single-thread performance such as game servers.

Specifications, planned:

• System: HP ProLiant BL460c G8
• CPUs: 2x Intel Xeon E5-2643 v2
• Memory: TBD
• Storage: 2x 600GB HGST SAS

SVCS3

SVCS3 would use the hardware platform "Lisdexamfetamine", the system is optimized for multi-thread but higher single-thread performance for use with AI and remote code compilation.

Specifications, planned:

• System: HP ProLiant BL460c G8
• CPUs: 2x Intel Xeon E5-2667 v2
• Memory: TBD
• Storage: 2x 600GB HGST SAS
