I'm curious just how OLD this SCSI RAID system is? Everything I've
deployed in the last 8 or 10 year has been SAS based, parallel SCSI went
the way of buggy whips some years back, I think the last parallel SCSI
servers I decommissioned were based on the Pentium-4 generation of Intel
Xeon processors, like Nocona..
the power vs performance of these old servers makes them a losing bet,
especially now that you're way on the wrong side of the typical 5 year
halflife of computer electronics. a single socket low end modern
server would have many times the CPU and IO performance, and would be
able to run many such workloads virtualized.
