Hes not near the computer smartass?

No budget left for mountings? :)

Do those poe injectors go pop often? If you don't want to invest in a PoE switch (not worth it for that many ports) a PoE midspan can be useful, especially if its managed to remotely cycle things.

dns???

I know it is DOCSIS 3.0 but on the hardware side they are using 4/5 channels for downstream and only 2 upstream so presumably a symmetrical connection isn't actually possible in that configuration? Don't get me started on their traffic management, use your full speed for more than an hour and...

Isnt that DOCSIS 3.0 or are VM being stingy?

hah the 90 degree switch is very dramatic :)

I seen a lot of recent fiber patch panels that are ST or SC - ST are actually nice since they are fully secured - never seen a LC patch/device thats not a GBIC!

Looks like you have 2u spare? Whack a PoE midspan in there for a cheap PoE add-on!

Is that a window at the top? I presume servers etc will be 'facing' this? If so where is the hot/cold separation?

Damn did XZIBIT design those fans? haha

What are those other 3 expansion cards in the storage box? Some sort of APU? No idea what that dev board is but seems to have every connector under the sun!

You're over thinking the problem as far as I can tell, a real cluster would be beowulf (architectures need to match but not precise hardware afaik); but you're only really needing to offset processing? Most 3d rendering software suites have a remote rendering feature which you can install on...

100 points for rear projected security glass into NOC, -100 points for goofy american flag....

If there is compression (and uncompression) along the 10mbit line you could potentially see a performance increase, the 10mbit connection is probably not symmetrical however so you could see your upload filling up which will hamstring any downstream gains.
