      I just rebuilt my VMware home lab with XO-CE and XCP-NG, and the installation and hardware compatibility have been excellent. Performance is great. Four small industrial machines live inside a small IT closet at my home.

      Hosts:
      64gb ram
      2tb nvme
      4tb SSDs
      6 2.5gbe nics

      Snynology
      8 1tb SSDs

              So far, I'm still learning the product. I have the lab with Xen Orchestra and XOA appliance, and I am testing configurations and stability before loading up my VMS.

              I build mini clones of my corporate domain to test AD automation—prototype working demos to automate HRIS and AD for onboarding projects. Firewall SDN testing and staging demo websites to clients as needed.

              It is better to play in the lab before modifying production Active Directory 🙂

              Load testing XOSTOR at the moment, getting pretty good IOPS so far:
