Do I have to get that key thing? Or be running a 24x7 Unifi GW? or once it's set up do I just let it go?

dont need the key unless you want to manage it from the cloud

you don't need the GW if you just want to deploy an AP or two (i don't think)

Key is just management embedded. Cloud access is an option. The name cloud key is misleading.

You can run wifi w/o management. I have used unifi wifi with edgerouter

The webinar replay from the full day #virtualexpo is live, lots of great sessions - xenapptraining.com/members/virtual-expo/2017-03

Thanks guys. Ordered it 🙂

1365-G5 for robo could make sense, include AFS in the mix and you've got something rock solid. You could start with robo and move up to the DC

For my wifi: my Ruckus sits in a self contained cloud env

I did a lot of research last night and looks like the most affordable 10Gb switch is the UBNT. I couldn't find a 16 port - 10GbRJ45 under $1300, I can buy the UBNT 16-port SFP+ for $600, twinax cables under $50 and the SM e300-8D comes with 2 SFP+ ports. Also the PCI cards are a lot cheaper on SFP+ format than RJ45.

I guess I'm going SFP+

Add more APs is automated by a wizard, 3 click and I'm done

I might have a 24 port SFP+ from Arista collecting dust somewhere

Want me to check?

Heck.. I could even run a NTNX 1365 if my friend @Kees Baggerman sends me one for testing

Sure... especially if it is a 10Gb SFP+

I don't get to tell who gets a block, I have to request HW myself via my manager

Let me know about the arista switch

@Kees Baggerman can you do 1365-G5 as single node?

I'm not talking about a very big workload here

1365 is a 3-node block.. so you can do single cluster

And you can do AHV for all your virtualization needs, no need for VMware licenses

I'd need 4 ROBO implementations. Nutanix is very appealing but costly for this workload

I may just get some cheap SM hardware and put hyper v on or even load windows without virtualization

How big is the company? They have pretty incentives for small companies

It's just video archives from security cameras and local replica of dental X-rays.

We are 450 employees. 15 sites. 501c3 nonprofit healthcare

You might be surprised on the type of discounts you could get

I'll talk to Choice Solutions. They are the local VAR. that way I can get an idea of the prices

Yeah... Shane can get you up and running
