Very Old Data Center 1992

Very old data center with lots of DECVAX and Sun SPARC servers, with some DECWriters thrown in for good measure. Love the Kennedy 9400 tape drive (40mb on that tape!) in the PDP 11/70 cabinet. And last is the MICOM "Port Selector" (e.g.: Terminal Server).

@vitekcom2 I think it's the beginning of a recording in my car. I made a couple of those (See watch?v=_OlkW9O73k4).

NASA Ames Research Center. This was part of their first Internet connections, called NASA Science Internet (NSI).

Question: And this is one you should probably have in the video description.

Was this filmed recently or is this footage found on VHS/beta8/dv(?) from way back then?

I ask because the video quality is not too bad :)

I worked in a place like this, 1980 to 1983.

It was the closest thing to my science fiction fantasies of the time.

If you know, where the SUN systems running SunOS, or SOLARIS?

I remember how loud server room in 1980's, it's just like engine room on huge ship.
