Spread across ageing towers or a desktop NAS, those jobs are hard to patch, hard to back up and hard to fix when nobody is in the office. Infinity Sentinel Essential brings them onto one server that fits an office closet or comms shelf, needs no rack and can be managed remotely.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA 16-core, 32-thread AMD EPYC 4545P (65 W) runs on an ASRock Rack B650D4U-2L2T\/BCM server board with 64GB of DDR5 ECC unbuffered memory, one module per channel. Two Kingston DC2000B 480GB enterprise NVMe drives with power-loss protection are mirrored for the host and virtual-machine system disks, and two 16TB Seagate IronWolf Pro 7200 rpm drives are mirrored for shared data (16TB usable). The SilverStone CS382 tower has eight hot-swap bays, four of them wired to the board as standard, so the data pool can grow to four drives. Two 10GbE ports, two 1GbE ports and a dedicated IPMI port for remote power control, console access and hardware monitoring are built into the board, and a Noctua NH-D9L cooler and an 850W power supply complete the build.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProxmox VE 9 is the host operating system, with a one-year Proxmox VE Basic subscription registered to your organisation, so the domain controller, file server and application servers run as separate virtual machines that can each be backed up and restored on their own. Windows Server runs as a guest operating system and is licensed separately: supply your own Windows Server 2025 licence or have us quote it. Microsoft licenses every physical core with a 16-core minimum per server, so this 16-core processor needs no additional core licences; Standard edition covers two Windows Server virtual machines, and each user or device needs a Windows Server CAL. Windows Server with Hyper-V on bare metal (the board maker lists Windows Server 2022 and 2025 for this processor) and Ubuntu Server LTS (no licence fee) are also available.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChoose Essential when the office needs infrastructure services, not just storage: for file storage and backup alone, an Infinity Vault NAS is the simpler fit. Step up to Infinity Sentinel Professional for SQL-backed applications, Remote Desktop, more virtual machines, ECC registered memory, a hot-swap SSD pool and redundant power in a rack.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery server has its BIOS and BMC firmware updated and completes a 72-hour burn-in with a written report, during which we also validate Proxmox VE on this platform. It ships with both ZFS pools built, VLAN-aware networking, the BMC on a separate management network and an as-built document, followed by a one-hour remote handover. Options include 128GB of memory (four modules run at 3600 MT\/s), the 16-core EPYC 4585PX with 128MB of L3 cache and a larger cooler, four-drive pools of 16TB or 24TB drives, a 1U rackmount version with redundant power supplies on the same motherboard, a 1500VA sine-wave UPS with automatic shutdown, and on-site installation, Windows Server domain build, backup configuration, data migration and monitoring services.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tower has a single power supply and is one server, so it is not high availability: we recommend a second domain controller on separate hardware, and because mirrored drives are not a backup, back the server up to separate hardware such as an Infinity Vault and keep an off-site copy.

Infinity Sentinel Professional moves those roles onto one rack host built for them: each application runs in its own virtual machine on enterprise flash, power comes from two hot-swap supplies, and the whole server is managed remotely through IPMI. It suits firms of roughly 25 to 75 staff with a comms closet or rack, such as accounting, legal and engineering firms and clinics with practice-management databases.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 16-core, 32-thread AMD EPYC 9124 (up to 3.7 GHz) runs on the ASRock Rack GENOAD8UD-2T\/X550 board inside the ASRock Rack 1U8S4E-GENOA\/2T chassis, with 128GB of DDR5-4800 ECC registered memory filling all eight memory slots, one per channel (307.2 GB\/s theoretical peak). The host boots from two mirrored Kingston DC2000B enterprise NVMe drives. Virtual machines and databases run on four Kingston DC600M 960GB enterprise SATA SSDs with power-loss protection in a ZFS RAID 10 pool (1.92TB usable), in front hot-swap bays connected straight to the motherboard with no RAID card, as Proxmox recommends for ZFS. The front panel holds eight 2.5-inch SATA bays and four NVMe bays, the Intel X550 provides two 10GbE ports, and a dedicated IPMI port handles remote management. Two 750W 80 PLUS Platinum power supplies run 1+1 redundant: either one can carry the server, and one can be removed while it runs. The chassis is 676.5 mm deep and comes with slide rails.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProxmox VE 9 is the host operating system, with a one-year Proxmox VE Basic subscription. Windows Server, SQL Server and Remote Desktop run as guests and are licensed separately. Microsoft licenses all physical cores with a 16-core minimum per server, so this processor sits exactly at the minimum; Standard edition covers two Windows Server virtual machines per full licensing, and more need the cores licensed again or Datacenter edition.

Choose Sentinel Advanced for 32 cores, all twelve memory channels, 384GB, 25GbE and room for a bulk-storage tier; Professional keeps Windows Server per-core licensing at the 16-core minimum, keeps every data drive in front hot-swap bays, and needs about 28 cm less rack depth than Advanced.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery server has its BIOS and BMC firmware updated and completes a 72-hour burn-in with a written report, including a power-supply failover test with one supply pulled under load.

Infinity Sentinel Advanced is built for organisations of roughly 75 to 250 staff, multi-site businesses and departmental IT teams that want to replace a rack of older servers with one host, and for research groups running memory-heavy virtual machines. It needs a full-depth rack and planned maintenance windows.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA 32-core, 64-thread AMD EPYC 9354 with 256MB of L3 cache runs on the ASRock Rack GENOAD12M3-2Q board in the ASRock Rack 1U12L4E-GENOA\/2Q chassis, with 384GB of DDR5-4800 ECC registered memory: one module on each of the processor's twelve channels (460.8 GB\/s theoretical peak). Two mirrored Kingston DC2000B enterprise NVMe drives boot the host, and four Kingston DC600M 1.92TB enterprise SSDs with power-loss protection form a ZFS RAID 10 pool for virtual machines (3.84TB usable). Two 25GbE SFP28 ports connect to the core switch and backup server, a dedicated IPMI port handles remote management, and two PCIe 5.0 x16 slots and an OCP 3.0 slot remain free. Two 1000W hot-swap power supplies run 1+1 redundant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwelve 3.5-inch bays sit inside the chassis in a pull-out drive cage. The VM pool uses four of them, and the other eight can take four more SSDs or an eight-drive hard-drive tier (up to 144TB usable in RAIDZ2) for file data or an on-site backup repository. Because those bays are under the top cover, which ASRock says to remove only with the server powered off, replacing a drive is a planned shutdown: the ZFS pool keeps running on its remaining drives until the maintenance window, and our optional monitoring service alerts you when a pool is degraded. The four front NVMe bays accept 7 mm U.2 drives. The chassis is 955 mm deep and sits on L-shelf rails, so it needs a full-depth four-post rack and a two-person lift.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProxmox VE 9 is the host operating system, with a one-year Proxmox VE Basic subscription. Windows Server is licensed on all 32 physical cores: Standard edition covers two Windows Server virtual machines per full licensing, while Datacenter edition covers any number of virtual machines on the licensed server, so we quote both against your VM count, with CALs. SQL Server 2025 Standard uses up to 32 cores and a 256 GB buffer pool per instance; larger databases need Enterprise edition. Windows Server 2022 with Hyper-V on bare metal (on the board maker's OS list for this processor) and Ubuntu Server LTS are available on request.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCompared with Sentinel Professional, Advanced doubles the cores (32 vs 16), triples the memory (384GB vs 128GB), uses all twelve memory channels instead of eight, doubles the usable flash, moves from 10GBASE-T to 25GbE SFP28 and steps up to 1000W redundant supplies. Professional keeps its data drives in front hot-swap bays; Advanced trades that for internal 3.5-inch capacity. For failover between servers, choose Sentinel Enterprise, a three-node high-availability cluster built from the same chassis and processor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery server has its BIOS and BMC firmware updated and completes a 72-hour burn-in with a written report covering all twelve memory channels and a power-supply failover test. It ships with Proxmox VE, ZFS and the 25GbE links configured, the BMC on a management network and an as-built document that includes the drive-replacement procedure, followed by a one-hour remote handover. Options include 768GB and 192GB memory configurations and EPYC 9005 processors (by quote), four more SSDs (7.68TB usable), the hard-drive tier, a dual-port 10GBASE-T card, SFP28 cables or optics matched to your switch, a 1500VA rack UPS, on-site installation, backup configuration, monitoring and multi-server consolidation projects. Memory is sourced and validated per order. 1U fans are loud, so plan for a rack room; one host is not high availability; and backups belong on separate hardware.

Infinity Sentinel Enterprise spreads your virtual machines across three identical servers with shared Ceph storage. If one server fails, Proxmox VE high availability restarts its protected virtual machines on the other two, with typical detection and failover times of about two minutes according to Proxmox, and virtual machines can be moved off a server so it can be patched or serviced while they keep running. It is designed for organisations of roughly 250 to 1,000 or more staff, clinics, multi-department firms, municipalities, universities and research groups running 30 to 150 virtual machines on one site.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach node is an ASRock Rack 1U12L4E-GENOA\/2Q with a 32-core AMD EPYC 9354, 384GB of DDR5-4800 ECC registered memory on all twelve channels, two mirrored Kingston DC2000B enterprise NVMe boot drives, six Kingston DC600M 1.92TB enterprise SSDs with power-loss protection for Ceph, two 25GbE SFP28 ports, an Intel X550-T2 dual 10GBASE-T card for the cluster network, IPMI, and two 1000W hot-swap power supplies in 1+1 redundancy. Across the three nodes that is 96 cores, 1,152GB of memory and 18 Ceph storage drives, above Proxmox's recommended minimum of three nodes and 12 drives. With three-way replication the cluster holds 11.52TB usable, and we plan for about 80% fill.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe network is part of the design. Proxmox requires latency under 5 ms between nodes and recommends a dedicated network for cluster communication with a second link as a fallback, so each node's cluster traffic has its own 10GbE port, the second link uses the other port with the management VLAN, and Ceph and virtual-machine traffic run on the 25GbE ports. Two 25GbE switches with cables, 10GBASE-T switch ports (or a direct three-node connection) and about 2 kW of protected power on two or more circuits are quoted or supplied by you, and a site survey comes before the order.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery node runs Proxmox VE 9 with a one-year Proxmox VE Standard subscription (10 tickets a year and a four-hour first response for critical requests); Proxmox requires all nodes in a cluster to use the same subscription level. Windows Server, SQL Server and other applications run as guests and are licensed separately, and because virtual machines can run on any node, Windows Server licensing is assessed for the whole cluster in your quote. Hyper-V failover cluster designs are available by quote (Storage Spaces Direct requires Windows Server Datacenter).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCompared with Sentinel Advanced, Enterprise uses the same chassis and processor but three servers instead of one, Ceph shared storage instead of local ZFS, a separate cluster network, six SSDs per node and a Standard subscription on every node. That matters for maintenance as well as failures: each node's drives sit in internal bays serviced with the server powered down, and in a cluster that becomes a planned, one-node-at-a-time task while the virtual machines run elsewhere.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach node is assembled, its firmware aligned with the others and burned in for 72 hours. We then build the cluster, deploy Ceph with three replicas, configure HA groups and fencing, and power off a node under load to prove that its virtual machines restart on the others; the results go in your report, together with a documented node-maintenance procedure and a two-hour remote handover. Options include a fourth node, which lets Ceph restore full redundancy after a node loss, six more SSDs per node (23.04TB usable), 768GB per node, switching, a rack UPS, on-site installation and commissioning, monitoring, and a separate Proxmox Backup Server. Failover is a restart rather than zero downtime, one site is not disaster recovery, and Ceph replication is not a backup, so a separate backup target is required. Each node carries our 3-Year Hardware Warranty and Lifetime Technical Support.
