There are 3 HP DL360 G8 servers, I think it's time to add storage, where to grow?
For the purpose of introducing new services, adding jobs, improving manageability and reliability, we are considering options for expanding the hardware park.
Due to the considerable cost and strategic importance of the solution for years to come, we need advice and / or development of the solution by an experienced supplier / integrator.

If you already have equipment and licenses, as well as a great desire to develop an infrastructure with new goodies, then you can consider the storage option:
- both servers will be upgradeable, namely:
+ buy and install + 48GB of memory for each server;
+ remove three 2TB screws from each server;
+ pokapat and put 2xSSD 480GB in RAID1 under the system, and swap out the remaining 2TB (repeat on the second server);
+ buy and install FC cards in each server;
+ buy storage with 12xSAS screws for 600GB (two controllers). 3.6GB I think is enough for you.
If this space is not enough, then you can immediately take it with 900GB SAS screws, or then buy a second storage system and include it in the perimeter;
+ connect both servers via FC to the storage system;
+ on one server you raise Hyper-V and already make virtual machines on it;
+ on the second server, we also set the Hyper-V role and from the first server we turn on the replica of virtual machines on the second server;
+ only the virtual machines themselves will be stored on the servers themselves, and hard drives will have to be located on the storage system.
Virtual machines:
PDC
SDC
Exchange Server
TerminalServer
Well, something like that!
