Home Data Center Phase 3

These equipment are used for commercial purposes. These servers, most are used only for processing emails. Four of them are DNS servers. My goal is to grow to eventually become a full hosting company. Thank you for your comments.

And I considered myself a freak for having a rackmount server sitting in the closet! Sir, I take my hat off :) You must be getting huge electricity bills, and the whole cabinet is outperformed by a single 2x6-core xeon server. But still, that looks awesome, and very tidy!

@jekader Thank you for the good comments.

My respect for that very clean design!

I wouldn't dare to ask what for or why you build this up at all, since I would do it too if I'd have just enough resources to do so :-), but one thing:

Besides of the nostalgia - what are the SGIs for? What OS do you run on them and what do they process these days?

Thanks & Cheers, elstyr

@elstyr First of all thank you for the good comments. Currently SGI servers are installed with Windows Server 2003 and deal only with Mdaemon mail since it allows the full integration of BlackBerry's Enterprise and Push Mail technologie. Soon, new servers will be installed with Linux for other needs in email. Good day!

Nice video. I like how simple, and clean the power and networking is on the wall. Just curious, how many servers do you have in total? I am loving this. Thanks for keeping us updated on this! From a fellow server geek.

Amazing setup, and great cable management. It's good to see something like this, it's something to look up to.

[onionofdeath]

Awesome setup, looks like a pro did it ;) I plan to do something similar for a render farm in the not-too-distant future...

[ultimamods]

thats awesome! you should get rack mountable routers and switches tho :D also not sure if you run the orange extention cords right to the servers, but you should connect them together and run them a a high density PDU on the rack :D

WOW, That is the best home server I have ever seen, LOL Wish Mine was tidy like that.

Nice job! Let us know when you need a soundproof cabinet.

[p97firebird]

you forgot to clip some cable ties! other than that, it is an excellent setup.

Beautiful wire management!

you shouldn't have those ups's sitting on solid concrete like that, you need to have them on a platform and not next to each other like that, they will build up heat, they can't breath the way you have them, just a little fyi, thanks
