Racked today, entire hosting solution based on Vates stack
-
Hey all,
We are proud of our new setup, full XCPng hosting solution we racked in a datacenter today.
This is the production node, tomorrow i'll post the replica node !XCPng 8.3, HPE hardware obviously, and we are preparing full automation of clients by API (from switch vlans to firewall public IP, and automatic VM deployment).
This needs a sticker "Vates Inside"

Nice setup!
Feel free to share more details if you can, thanks for posting in any case

@olivierlambert here is the replica node, on a 10km distant datacenter (two ways 10Gb network between the two nodes)
smaller setup here, just to host backup copies of production node and replica/DR VMs.the whole setup consist of 7 VMS Enterprise hosts
Netgate 8300 max firewalls top of rack.we are a MSP (and Vates partner
Tier2 soon to be Tier4 !) providing full hosting or hybrid onprem/oncloud to our clients.
some other services like web hosting with Plesk platform, Veeam Cloud Connect, security/firewalling services, centralised monitoring with Centreon and as soon as we manage to connect onprem XCP to our cloud xoproxies, full replica solution of onprem XCP servers.on the bare metal, XCP 8.3, value added with full automation of tenant creation/administration/documentation with diverse APIs (check CRM for clients tagged to be admin of their tenant, get VLANs from there, create them in XCP pools/switchs/pfsense firewalls, create firewall rules and limiters, create openvpn server, spin up VMs in client tenant, automatic netbox documentation on top of xoa plugin, enjoy !)
we are on pre-production and should be on the market in november, currently migrating OVH VMs to these servers.
VATES stack is the best solution to be fully integrated in our vision of providing VMs and services to clients in an efficient way.
we left vmware, had ESXs hosted in OVH datacenters in France, but they were 10 000km and 250ms away from our end users.
for those who wonder, we are located at Reunion Island, indian ocean, french overseas territory.

Nice! We also have a pretty big partner in your island. Glad to see XCP-ng and the Vates stack is booming in there
(I've been visiting last March, for an entire week, it was wonderful)
