Network pics thread

I can add picture of our new SQL server tomorrow, but nothing new to show other than that sadly.
 
Some of the hardware has been posted, heres the screenshot from vSphere

You want porn? Well it isn't really too sexy but here is what I worked on all day.

And the specs

The drives are 600GB 15k SAS 6 in RAID 5 w/ 1 hot spare.
 
Here's some hardware porn...

Not so much of a networking related product (does require 16 network connections though as well as 16 power connections), but it sure does handle video...

Its a Harris HView Multiviewr. I dont have all the specs on it yet, but counting the jacks, it has 64 outputs either DVI or SDI and something like 250 video inputs, all HD 1080i
 
Look what dash bought :)

Will be here tomorrow, Ordering 32 gigs ram next week and a quad core 8mb cache xeon and 2 x 1tb drives. Then buying a qnap 4 bay unit for iscsi off a person on the forum here :)

These new PowerEdges kick ass. I am working on a virtualization project with two R515's. The iDRAC is awesome.

I will try and get some pics up of the rack but is is a complete mess but I plan to fix that as the final step.
 
Replaced our terminal server at a remote site, went to virtual desktops; works pretty damn well. :)



Forgot to take a final picture though. We installed an EBM, SNMP card and temp/humidity sensor for the Tripp Lite battery. I also removed that Intel 1U server, it was virtualized. I also need to go back and cleanup the wires a bit more. :(

We also installed a 12,000 BTU portable A/C unit that duct's the hot air out of the small server room. Just as supplemental cooling, when it's cold outside and the main units are not cranking, it get's hot in there. I also need to check if it pumps heat in there when it's cold outside as well... Also not good, however we had the Dell terminal server running in there for 7 years and it did not die, so I'm sure we'll be fine with the supplemental A/C for now. :)

I see a sonicwall, R200 and some wiring mess :) ( but that might be because you were working on the rack )
 
Id love to post pics of what im doing right now, but im not sure i can... its sensitive data. Basically we're doing security/surveillance for a VERY large (one of the top companies) cosmetics company. Some of you saw our wall of monitors for a town... this is similar, except we have a 42" 1080p monitor that shows a map of their facility. All the camera locations are on the map so when theres motion, they blink. We have maybe 2 dozen PTZ cameras, when a door opens the map shows the door blinking, and it also moves any PTZs in that area, to the door. Reason being... they need to watch the pallets and materials coming/going so the doors are NOT their friends, so they keep an eye on em. So if security isnt watching, the ptz will automatically go to a door that opens to track things.

We also have some cameras on a conveyor belt that counts the boxes coming/going.

What else... well access control but thats nothing fancy. 3 32" channel dvrs.

That sonicwall works great as long as nobody ever touches it... ever. It will go away finally by year's end if all goes to plan (we have one at each site for IPSEC tunnels only).

EDIT: I also have one of those side of the rack cable organizers that I'm going to slap on the left side to hide everything as pretty as possible. This building is like 20 years old and it shows. All offices only have one network drop and it's all ran through small piping, some under the concrete; it's annoying trying to add drops... :(
 
This thread is addictive. Must...see...more...racks ;)

Anyway, my goals of taking over the other side of the house have been postponed once again - so until then, the temporary network has gone through a few changes.

Previously:

Currently:


Watchguard Firebox x500 - Pending a pfSense install and I can't find a null modem cable...or a compact flash card. :rolleyes:

1. pfSense Box - Sempron/2GB
2. Server/Test Box - Quad AMD/8GB RAM/Server 2008 Enterprise
3. Cisco 2948G-L2 - Had it around for a while, and that 8 port switch was driving me crazy.



Dining table? THIS IS MY COMMAND TABLE DAMMIT! :p

1. HP G62 (Front)
2. HP dv9830us (at the back between the G62 and Monitor)


Network is still pretty lame, but it isn't as noisy as it was before and it pretty much works for the basics and most of my testing. Hopefully, I can get my hands on some more equipment and setup a decent lab by mid summer. :)

yeah, you breath on that thing and it will fail :( pos things.

I had a sonicwall, kinda liked it, was a stubborn beast, i had a untangle unit beside it, and for a proven fact, untangle captured and prevented more spyware entering my network than the 1000$ fully licensed 210,

WTF!

Do you see a sonicwall unit in my rack right now ?

HELL NO!!

That Dell R200 in the is running Untangle. :D
 
I've re-deployed an RSA 1U running Untangle again. Was going to do failover but i need to cut some expenses so one of the internet connections is going byebye. so now it gets to be put back up as a porn filter for my brother.

Now, just give him an advanced warning before he goes online and discovers googling boobies brings up:

What model RSA is it by the way, Hallis?
