I figured that it might be a good idea to write a short post about the setup I have at home to test stuff. I have access to another bigger Lab at work, when I need to test solutions that I can’t fit into my own setup. My setup is a homebuild, that was built for silence some 4-5 years ago, but have been upgraded a bit since then.

Cabinet Antec Performance one P180
Motherboard: Asrock Z77 Pro3
RAM: 32Gb DDR3
HDD: a single 250Gb Spinning disk
SSD: Kingston SSDNOW v300 120Gb SSD
NAS: Synology DS413j

On this I run VMware vSphere 5.5 (planning to upgrade to 6.0 soon). And untop of that a few freebsd and linux servers, as well as a few windows servers for testing purposes.
