I need advice on a datacenter network. It will be a render farm with the following elements:
- 160 Render nodes, each having dual 10Gbps ports (not sure if RJ45 or SFP yet - advice welcome)
- An orchestration server, to coordinate render jobs (1Gbps connection fine)
- A license server (1Gbps connection fine)
- Dual (redundant) NVME Storage Servers - will require high-speed connections (40Gbps or 50Gbps, dual ports)
- A firewall with a 10Gbps fiber line to the outside world (possibly dual 10Gbps connections)
I know very little about datacenter networking - my experience extends about as far as networking a small office. I don't intend to build this myself (I'll hire someone to design, deploy, and configure the network) but I do want an idea of costs and configuration.
Any advice welcomed. Apologies in advance if this breaks subreddit rules, I think I comply with the design requirement.
Deployment in Canada if that makes a difference. Remote management preferred.
