<div>Supermicro microcloud chassis. Two blades with 2x 1tb
SSD's in each in raid-1, replicated using some kind of
distributed filesystem. iSCSI export from each. Six more
blades running XenServer or Vmware, your choice. Pointing at
the iscsi exports using multipath for failover. 10GbE NIC's
in each blade, 10GbE switch on top, shove it all in a 4RU
roadcase, and bingo 'Cloud in a box'. :D</div>
