Wouldn't call those giant bins... We put our junk into gaylord containers(yes they're really called that) 48" x 40" x 36" boxes

I'll take those Cisco switches if you are just tossing them lol.

As will I!

 

[haunter]

same!

 

[AcidBurn]

They're dead

 

[Blitzrommel]

LOL, did I see an HP NetServer up there? Good times.

 

[Red Squirrel]

Oh man it's time to clean around here.. 4 of these giant bins went out

Do I see a Eaton Powerware UPS in the back? It looks like this bin of random junk is in it's natural environment: the UPS room.

 

[timreichhart]

does them cisco switches work? if so I will take one?

Maybe.. Maybe not

 

[MrGuvernment]

Wow. Just... Wow.

That's some unbelieveable work right there. Hope they never have to change it but man, I have cable envy.

that is nuts, imagine running every cable to make sure it is on the same line all the way through the bundle and not crossing over any other ones and getting it just right!

be interesting to watch someone do this to see how they keep things together and clean.

Not three posts up,yo:

Seriously. Not to mention cutting and crimping every. single. cable to the exact length so there is no slack in the line.

 

[D-EJ915]

I'll take any PC100 or PC133 ECC dimms larger than 256mb you can find lol.

On a different note I migrated my zimbra server to a new box today. It was a pain in the ass because centos sucks but I figured it is the "most supported" of the ones I would use...

I was thinking about that, they probably measure out the longest run per group then pull and group the cables on the ground, or in a facility, then run them with a few feet extra loose at the patch end.

then its just punch down at the endpoint and do the final cleanup and punch at the patch panel, which may have something to do with them not being labeled like some are complaining about

This puts a LOT of DC's to shame. It's almost too good looking to be true.

 

[ToX]

^ that video causes a nerdgasm

 

[Berg0]

I'd be interested to see what the other side of the racks looks like, no switches in any of those, some long patch cables...

I'm guessing w/ something like this. Plenty of other companies out there make them as well.

It'll look like ass, I'm sure. It seems very unique to have so much space in a data center dedicated to U-racks of patch panels. No reason to have that on the expensive floor, but someone decided it was the right design ...

There are racks that will hold boxes or spools of cable and make it easy to pull eight to twelve runs at a time. The runs are pulled this way and left long. They're terminated on one end arbitrarily, and then identification equipment is plugged into the panel on that side. The cables are identified and terminated in the target panel and the overage cut off to leave the neat runs.

 

[calvinj]

Well I meant to post a teaser thread that but that didn't work for shit.. So here's all of it

 

[thefordmccord]

Just figured I'd post up some pics of some old crap that we sent off to the recycling center today.

Yay clamshell Dells!

 

[Red Squirrel]

I remember when those were considered new and being deployed. They were awesome. Users were so happy to get a faster computer and they were a dream to manage because of how easily they opened.

Many of the earlier clam shell dells suffered from the capacitor plague.

I haven't posted anything network related in a while. So here's an updated cage shot with our snazzy new banners.

 

[Benzino]

This was the core networking in our server room prior to a rewire. What equipment we used changed as net admins came and left. Alcatel, Cisco, now going all Juniper. Not that it matters anymore, we got bought and all of this is getting yanked out.

At least it's a good excuse to clean up.

impressive wiring in back

power strip looks a bit cheap tho

whats the small white box on the right side in teh back of rack pictures?

 

[jeffmoss26]

yeah really!

My new firewall for the house arrived.

My new firewall for the house arrived.

just a firewall ? or utm ? More pics ?

 

[QHalo]

Don't have anymore pics of interest as it's still sitting next to me on my desk

I'll post some UI pics when I get it up. Basically PA calls them their Next Generation firewalls that are application based not port based.

[MinPins]

Price for the PA-200?

 

[mikeblas]

Why did you chose PaloAlto? They don't seem to be a consumer-friendly company, so a PA-200 for home use is a bit curious.

Prob got it at a good price. I would not of bought an ASA5505-UL for MSRP price.

 

[QHalo]

I'm not using it in a consumer context per se. We'll be using them for testing policies and testing management from Panorama with our PA-4020's. A few of our executives will be getting them so we will live with them as well since we have to support them. Sorry to break you guy's hearts, I didn't buy it myself.

The through put on that unit is really low.. good thing you didn't pay for it..

 

[JeffBlair]

The old shit just keeps coming

I just gave this beast to a neighbor. A lot better then moving the thing. I'm glad I had a dolly to move it. That thing weighs a TON.

100Mbps is low for a home user/ROBO?

 

[/usr/home]

100Mbps isn't that low. It's also (most likely) their entry-model. Sure you can get $100 cheapo home-grade routers that push more, but they also suck and don't have nearly the same amount of features.

What would you have recommended for that application?
