Bit of a thread revival. Recently got a new job at a place where I've previously been contracted for network/server stuff, so I'm fortunate in the fact that most stuff there already is mine.
Just spent today tidying up the server room, moving from a 1/4 sat on the floor to this:
Before anyone mentions it, the servers are at the top because we are at high risk of flooding - the UPS' do a good job of countering the weight, and the rack is stable.
The rack is also back to front as the "front" doors are split, allowing the rack to go further back, and thus enough space at the front.
An idea of what is in there, from top to bottom, left to right:
Quad core Xeon Domain Server,
Quad core Xeon Exchange Server,
Dell R510 Dual Hex Core Xeon, 32GB Ram, 8xSAS drives - ERM/Database server,
Quad core Xeon storage server with a total of 6tb available space
Dual hex core xeon render server
Dual Quad Core Xeon, 3x300GB SAS Drves - ESXi Server (Linux web server, monitoring server)
Dual core Xeon Firewall/router/transproxy
2000VA and a 3000VA UPS.
Currently ethernet comes from the rack on the opposite wall which contains the core switches (5x 1Gb fiber links around the site - just waiting on some 10Gb stuff to arrive, then the server rack will get a switch), VoIP system, and will house the leased line stuff when it arrives next week.
