SNO Server Room

The grand tour of the server room at the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory. These are the computers that process all of the data collected by the detector. Rows upon rows of 250+GB hard drives, dual Xeon Duo-core machines, the works.

@mrcoffeerush I've never seen that many tapes! haha

[Gordon302]

So, what's with all those tape cartridges along the wall? It appears to be mostly already used data tapes for storage archival purposes, along with some blank ones mixed in. If I'm correct, that Overland tape library has a maximum capacity of 02 tape drives. Has your company seriously considered a much larger tape library with a lot more drives, magazines/storage slots? Just a thought.

[MrkmTrainFAN]

@karlsruheprotestful At 0:58~0:59, the 4th lot of 3 servers, the bottom one has a warning light on its right side (orange flasher) its hard to make out, but its there.

[karlsruheprotestful]

@thegreenjester Where is the warning light, I couldn't see it. Please specify the video time.
