Bulletproof Server

[jdnwest04]

lol, This is a re-branded HDS USP-V. It has fully redundant controller shelf, and as long as your disk groups stripe down across shelf's you could take a bullet through any point in the cab.

[PixlNinja]

Seems like they took "firewall" literally.

[oliver18754]

Hey Area 51 and all us Armies, here is your wants.

[mo3taz12345]

so to speak bulletproof :-)

[ATHORNFAM2]

all i can say is why

[shades2]

I'll remember HP next time I decide to machine-gun my servers...

[Tetragrammaton22]

lol well then... that makes sense... 

[JmaesN]

I think Sony should host their PSN on this (maybe it won't cut out every 2 mins

[boosturtalent]

i don't get it, if someone is to destroy or make the server gone bersek, they must've use ton's of bullets, or at least with a machine gun prototype or a bomb

[raven007yt]

its not bullet proof at all.... and the reason its still running is that the bullet did not hit any critical hardware like the processor, memory ect....

[mptrax]

Later shows ERROR 404 ! :D

[cyborg4r]

now on post offices everywhere!

[pinkiruina]

Nice hair Asian women ***lushfmlk.info***

[jejeroy]

this is for the army

[rockandrollvirus]

it may have survived the bullet but the water killed it!

[nepalihercules]

@rockandrollvirus no its waterproof

[bobbysam232]

Err Water =FAILURE

[FrosChannel]

Did the bullet just go through a empty spot in the server? Also I like the long warning at the end. Hahahahahaha.

[trintin123]

2:42 Bulletproof meaning

[trintin123]

Is "bulletproof" supposed to be like this ?

[cyberjackcyberjack]

thats always a Admin problem. : )

[reper2132]

1 word:wow

[rclawitw]

So why do they make such lousy notebooks.!!!

[GorathKaiga]

Yeah lets send that bullet through a disk controller, or a processor core or maybe through a module? That was a such BS video, all I saw was mostly blank PCB (which how do we know they didn't just take a bad motherboard and punch a hole in it?) This looks far too fake. If they want to convince us a little more, do it without switching scences and cameras, how about an uninterrupted shot single a cam with less narrative talk and a far less cinematic approach in showing this.

[webvid91]

hmmm, nice but what if I come in with a minigun and turn the server in to dust?

WILL I GET MY VIDEO THEN GENIUS?????

[fergoway2go]

im pretty sure bullet proof means it doesn't penetrate it ... and they shot a piece of PCB that was empty... and who the hell is going to go around shooting servers?!

[hitachi088]

doestn*

[hitachi088]

1:42 ...

no wire ,transsitor or chip was in this place ... so the bullet doest even touch the main component ...

FAIL

[Nuclearfright]

It just has several bypasses in the circuitry so it's fail safe most severs have that..

[TMHonfire102]

let me get in there with an ak-47 i guarantee id shut that shit down.

[D4reko]

Is is rocket proof? and it will not survive if you shoot at the cpu. its like 5% if you shoot at it and nothing happens.

[hunter500206]

yeh, try shooting it at some place not just that one mark. because it really hit nothing. but an empty place that don't do anything for the server. see how its all marked where they should hit the dam thing.

Get a machine gun and start spiting bullets see if nothing happens.

[Xormithan]

to be fair, when a board get shot at there's a good amount of deformation, so if the bond quality of those ICs to the left of the hole wasn't great they might have lifted or just torn off. I'd like to see how it'd cope with a hit on a core though.

[TravvyG]

Always can make your own Virus to wipe it out. I wonder if theirs a real job fr this destroying computer equiment stuff cause I want it haha

[gweedozedo]

I was personally involved with this test. The bullet took out half of the boards in the disk array. The point was that everything is redundant. We did a second video called diaster proof where we blew-up the XP along with several servers. Search for "HP Disaster Proof" and you should find it.

[robertxtm]

that sucks ass... a barrage of bullets will do it.

[chrigel1234]

Let ME do that test.... then the screens will go black within the blink of an eye. ;-)

You only have to know where to shoot.

[FuguFish95]

It looks like they planned it so that the bullet would go through a empty space with no wiring or anything

[bocapisces]

I thought this too, but if you listen later in the video, it describes that the term "bulletproof" is a technical slang for "reliable". If you shot it , it would not work, thus the lengthy disclaimer.

[triforcelink]

i thought 'bulletproof' meant that the bullet does not even go through...

[bocapisces]

EXACTLY, Bulletproof is computer slang.

[nickboyz]

What a time and money waste test.

Cant say more about it.

[Smoke420BC]

would have been funny if they shot the power button lol

[bocatablanco]

in this server are.... probably... arround 40 or 50 boards...

doing the same..

if 1 is fucked... it isnt a problem

[IdleGod]

Just goes to show how HP is completely out of touch with reality. It isn't bullet proof if you just didn't hit anything critical.

[hong87k]

EPIC FAIL. Why shoot a blank area but making it as if you have shot a critical part of the server?

[animebsd]

that was gay!!!! they shot it threw the motherboard but in a area that was blank and no parts were on that spot

any pc can do that

[TiLeNpWneD]

it's to give the persons who work in facilities that "may have problems" to have something to give cover.

[twiggy99]

How american is that?

I Know lets shot are own server!!

Americans will shot at anything, each other, cats, anyone they suspect to have WMD, people on their side, kids.

[PCXPBOY]

Notice how they planned where they would shoot... But also bulletproof servers are only bulletproof to a certain point. Hard Drive mirroring makes it possible to have a few harddrives shot out because other hard drives carry the same data, This server probably has multiple cpus most likely 2 or more so shooting some of the components out wont do any damage.

[Matteded]

WTF?

[GildedAlien]

They're making bullet proof servers so skynet will be indestructible!

[legionthantos]

Damn...

Someone get a huge power supply, we'll short curcuit the bastard!

[MidnightMarrow]

you could have a 300 watt or a 15000 watt the comps only going to pull as much as it needs from the psu..

[jeabo0adhd]

dumb. it missed the circuit lines and chips

[brewbsd]

that was gay!!!!  they shot it threw the motherboard but in a area that was blank and no parts were on that spot

[ccrinc]

what part was it shot through?

[DrMR2000]

Who in the hell is going to shoot the server? won't do any good data is probably backup somewhere else I would hope, and you would have to shoot directly at the harddrive , and a 44 Magnum would blow this thing to bits (What are we trying to to do hp? (Run against panasonic Thoughbooks which is a laptop! "Don't see any military people carrying servers around"

[nunogrl]

They should aim at the processor socket or RAM databank...

If i intended to destroy a CPU with a gun that's where I would aim...

But it's a good way to demonstrate board's redundancy

[TigerSlashX]

Did you know 1.6 feet of water can stop a bullet from the shock. how long would you bet the fish tank was?

And its not bulletproof it went right through the case and pierced the motherboard.

if the bullet hit anywhere else the thing would be dead.

[mi3pwns]

lol uhh probibally didnt hit anything inside?

[nilbud]

They should let a 5 year old kid loose on the fucker it'd never boot again.

[jamessfromtx]

lmao

[secret00agent00man]

lemme at it

[deathcommand]

Try a rocket launcher next time

[Doppelgangergang]

It still worked!

[youtubasoarus]

What kind of stupid test is that? It went RIGHT THROUGH the case, it's not bullet proof at all. It's not even ID10T proof. Shenanigans.

[BrandonX93]

Meh, did you not hear what he said at the end?

"The term bullet proof used in this video refers to the term used in the IT industry and refers to extremely stable hardware and/or software."

[Rapisgoodenough]

You know what ur talking about!

[smartwerker]

RIGHT ON, HUDDERS123

[hudders123]

they targeted a certain spot which may have been a hollow spot or not important to run the server

[PCXPBOY]

they should try making this grenade proof, not fool proof.

[PCXPBOY]

I wouldnt say fake, but YOU CANNOT MAKE A COMPUTER BULLETPROOF UNLESS YOU MAKE THE CASE BULLETPROOF because if it takes a bullet in the right spot, then well its fuked. i wonder whats in that fishtank...

[Kenmoremathguy]

It's called mirroring, or having backup servers right next to each other.

[PCXPBOY]

well that is probably the case but why do you think they planned out where they would shoot?

[PCXPBOY]

it would also be able to make that server hotswap.

[RIPfirefox]

"whoa nelly!"

i would sue hp if the fish was shot at

[turners1]

It isn't a server... its a disk array, and that kinda protection of your data is what you want.... its the reason why bought one

[Darkmagishin]

lol, these pussies did not even fire the gun manually.

[Jesta7890]

wow the place where it was shot was just board no circuits were damaged

[ClonedThing]

yeah shooting a point where no circuit is running won't damage it duh...

I think it was a empty server case and they shown us an normal motherboard with a hole in it and if they wan't to make a bullitproof server they would have made it like a safe

[Nobletaru]

NICE!! if you get pissed at your computer now u can just shoot it a few times to teach it alesson instead of smashin your keyboard :)

[Gamah1991]

yeah, so you shoot it where it doesn't cross any circuts, or at the very least, where there's redundant parts. what happens when you fire through 4-5 disks at a time?

[AnarexicSumo]

lol i like the 1 minute and 5 seconds of dont sue us / warnings at the end

[geoport]

i always thought bullet proof meant it stops the impact of a bullet.

[PCXPBOY]

geoport- bulletproof does... its just these goofs that think their mainboard can take a bullet by not shooting at parts of the board where there are no curcuits, no capacitors, etc. like a bulletproof vest stops penetration otherwise it doesnt work.

[fireicer]

@geoport yea hole in a pcb board where there was no circuit tracks lol what happens if there is a fire then.

[djmuede]

how long did hp searching that point ??? hahaha! i got a hp printer, but after this video i´m gonna think about another one ;) unbelievable hp doesn´t feels abashed!

[daewooparts]

if you want to kill it just shoot the power plug!

[BattleOfKheSanh]

whoops, it isn't a HP integrity rx7640 server, which delivers excellent performance and compute density for business-critical data center applications". it is in fact an HP storageworks xp12000 disk array, which is an entry-level enterprise class storage system in a compact footprint that increases business agility and decreases the stress of running applications where downtime is not an option.

[Tupeutlatesla]

What about FireFight? Lol

[ClonedThing]

untill they hit their power unit, processor or hard drive

[ghostswe]

hahha fake

[solidacid1337]

bulletproof my ass

[EllipticalMobile]

We built a server enclosure that will take a bullet.

[ashton82]

haha "nothing beats a custom built computer" are you high? I can tell you with 10 years professional IT experience that a clone build will never ever be more realiable than a PC from HP that get SOAK tested. Not in a millions years, go to a PC factory and see for yourself what they go through just to pass.

[zerstorer335]

Doesn't seem like it's "bulletproof" if a round passed through it. It does, apparently, have a good redundancy system installed. Note how they're using the "IT industry" definition of bulletproof, so it's not the military / police definition.

[Groudon185p]

this would probably for nasa or military probably or if you watch the end they refer to software/hardware...

[MaverickHunter75]

it's not really bulletproof if the bullet goes through. :P

[overmind2]

hp may be cool but nothing beats custom built computers

[highdefinitionaudio]

LOL HP take the war on terror quite seriously! but can it survive nuclear or chemical warfare? heh

[OmegaXalpha]

It just hit the motherboard in an area where nothing important is located. Try shooting it with an uzi.

[Renatodonadio]

Notice how they planned the spot to hit, and screwed firmly the gun to hit it "pinpoint". If they shot randomly I wish I was there to see all monitors going off and the face of HP engineers :-D

[jingling30]

they didn't preform  very well in the WTC for Citibank.

[73656261737469616e]

lol. I agree, Nice disclaimer.

[tommy2kjr]

I don't really think they were creating a "bullet prood server" It's an always on server, this is just an example showing they don't skip a beat.

[q3noobeater]

now i can have those LAN parties with my friends in Iraq

[Rjnicko]

i bet they made it incase a company bought so know one could damage data in it

[spayced]

Redundancy is not bulletproof. That's like having 10 computers next to each other and blowing one up. Wow, all the others are still running, amazing! Try this at home.

[mmartine1umichedu]

My agency planned a compaign around the XP 12000 Disk Array. At events, there were "bulletproof" vests handed out. Everyone had to be told not to "test them."

[pyxel]

hey folks,

it's not a server, it's a disk array...

marek

[thedjfrommn]

Wouldn't it be cheaper to make it less redundant, but in an actual bulletproof cabinet? Have you ever seen a data center anyway? It's impossible to actually get into one, much less get into one...with a gun. Why go through all that work to show people it's bulletproof, then with the disclaimer, basically say if anything like that happens, tough shit, bite the bullet, no pun intended, and replace the array. Just think how much cheaper an HP system could have been if they didn't do that test.

[MinnieAdventures]

It's all in the disclaimer!

[blackfang82]

Bulletproof??? Rofl... Thats not bulletproof.... If it had been, the bullet would have bounced off...

[MinnieAdventures]

Hahaha, the disclaimer is a classic!

[lynxeye2]

HP does the laptop program for my school msoe its delived

laptops with a design defect so that the pin that stick out inside the laptop for the power brick falls off

it happened to me twice

[givitallawy]

hm, you'd think that some water would flow through the bullet hole and fry a few things?

[DrGomez]

How about a few more 308 rounds at a spacing of 6 inches and prove it HP! Big enough disclaimer to warrant weaseling out of your product's capabilities.

[peterssachs]

this is a disk array that has reduntant raid, power, data busses and pretty much everything else. It is not a P-75. You are welcome to fire a .308 at your p75, I think you know what will happen.

[foolfromhell]

has YouTube been laggy recently?

[T0n3D34f]

wow, yeah if you cut along a motherboard with out touching any tracelines nothing will happen, because no info is being interupted. wow they're hella dumb.

[foolfromhell]

This was a mirror for a Digg story earlier.

www.digg.com

[bugmenotok]

Just drilled a hole in an old motherboard with a P75 on it without touching tracelines. Guess what, it's also bulletproof.
