My early xmas present to myself. I decided I was tired of running my home lab out of my living room. Solution? AIO ESXi+ZFS box colo'd in the racks at work.

Hopefully this will be sufficient for now. Built it from spare parts around the office/home.
2x x5650's, 192GB ram, 2x 160gb X25's, 4x 512gb M4's, 6 1.5TB Seagates, LSI HBA's, Supermicro 24 bay JBOD with 24 1.5TB Seagates. Connected via a HP 1910-24 to a ASA5505, backed up by the little Synology DS209 with 2 1.5TB drives. Should be a fun project.

Agreed 100% for L3. For L2, the Arista 7050T would be great and much cheaper.

That 3560 abomination is 3+ years old -- and assuming cisco marketing math -- runs at 53% line rate with shallow per-port buffers ... disgusting and overpriced compared to other solutions today.

Who can guess what this is? <MX480>

Interesting. We recently passed on 100G and the MX routers for the time being. Although not the same, I think bundled 40G MAN links across DWDM give you a lot better bang for your buck. Also, modern L3 ethernet switches seem to be displacing a lot of chassis routers (if you don't need MPLS, advanced QoS, or internet-sized routing tables). We're looking at the 3548 and 7150 now.

we might be moving to MPLS across our core, and we need internet sized routing tables :)

The 100GB link is going to be shooting about 120 miles. Bang for buck is for sure 40G, but when you are low on fiber and more pairs are cost millions, 100G is where its at :D

All of the patch cables in my closets are color coded based on what is on the other end. Pink for example is used for all network based printers across campus :p

It makes identifying what goes where trivial.

We tried to do that for awhile but a few guys who are no longer with us destroyed the standard. Luckily we are refreshing data closets so I'll have a chance right the ship.

Hard to tell, but it looks like you have an HC1000? Maybe the newer 800 as well? and an audio matrix switch? Need something less blurry ^^ Love the automation gear though... I'll be posting my pics soon when i get things organized

Do you have any custom action suggestions? How many devices are you scanning? How much hardware are you throwing at it? Ours is virtualized on XenServer.

An ours just scans.. We also use it for remote control because the consultants who have kaseya installed on everything is sooooooo unbearable to use we don't. I think we have somewhere around 600 devices scanned

A we have it on a vm in VMware.. Server 2008 32 with 1 proc and 4gb of ram.. The database runs on a separate ms SQL 2008 box which houses a few databases like VMware password state etc
