    best use for a poweredge 2950 I

    I have a 2950 plus three 1950II 's I intended to turn into a vsphere lab. Problem is they're damn loud, put out a ton of heat and are horribly inefficient by today's standards. I even tried dropping them to a single CPU and it didn't help a ton. I have a X3440 xeon whitebox server I'm running a...

    Blade Servers vs 1U server noise

    The 1855 chassis are very loud. We have a few and they're complete crap. If I recall they also require 208v unlike the M1000e that can be run at 110v. M1000e chassis are pretty awesome, but Dells first try at blades were junk. We have 4 M1000e chassis with the CMCs stacked in one cabinet...

    Is it really necessary to disjoin AD domain to change name of computer?

    If I recall in NT4 you had to drop it and re-join.

    I'm not totally sure, I didn't get to make that decision. I suppose its for future upgrades. These are being used for two new OC3 MPLS circuits. Upgrading from two DS3's running on 3845 routers. We have about 150 branch offices that connect in via wyse terminals to Citrix desktops plus VOIP...

    Ya they're R510's. I think the util node is a R710. Doesn't really matter. It all about the technology in the software.

    Some EMC love. Two Avamar grids side by side during our installation. 5 data nodes, 1 spare 1 utility. 12x 2TB + 1 SSD in each data node. Also have NDMP accelerator nodes at the top of the cabinets. The grid on the left is the DR replica and was moved to our DR site after the initial...

    How would you design this topology?

    Keep it simple. I'm assuming this is a single subnet with no L3 action happening on the switches. Did you get the stacking modules with them? If so and if they're in the same rack I'd just stack them. Servers with LACP connections spanning switches. or smart load balancing/failover. If...

    What is the rail above the front of the server rack row? Support for hot/cold isle separation?

    Best 42U Network Rack

    I'm a fan of the APC cabinets. Tons of options for PDUs, cable management and airflow among other things.

    Have you noticed that the activity LEDs on the 3750X switches seem to blink really fast compared to other Cisco switches? We deployed a stack of those a while back. It seemed like the LEDs blinked really fast. Checked for loops and multicasting. Didn't find anything wrong. Just seemed odd.

    Nice work. I've been thinking of doing something similar. Is that the monoprice wall 7U wall mount? Also what shelf is that at the bottom?

    The 1/3 or 2/3 gaps drive me nuts as well. A lot of server rails wont install securely unless lined up to the U markers properly.
