2 questions... 1) Where did you get all that equipment? 2) Why did you get all that equipment? You have more than a small TV station in that room and all seems to be running :O
1) Where did you get all that equipment? Used servers (e.g. eBay) and sometimes new servers. 2) Why did you get all that equipment? My hobby is also my job. I do this privately as well as professionally. A home lab like this helps you to qualify and gain experience. Back in 2000, I started at home with my own NT4.0 domain and recreated the company domain at home. This way I could test things at home without any risk. In 2017 I switched everything to an Active Directory. NT4: www.flickr.com/photos/timlumpi/albums/72157680996393155 AD: www.flickr.com/photos/timlumpi/albums/72157677472452544
Question: You have more than a small TV station in that room and everything seems to be running :O Answer: Everything is running perfectly and is stable throughout. It is also worth running a corresponding IT system at home. Not in the same dimensions, of course, but a little smaller. Two single-family houses are offset. Each TV is connected to a mini PC as a streaming client. Each person has a PC, some two (separate for games and school, for example). That adds up to quite a few PCs. If you then administer everything using GPOs and scripts, with your own WSUS and your own cloud, you save yourself a lot of work. Linux is mainly used for the servers, but also sometimes as desktops. However, Windows is a little easier to administer centrally here with the GPOs and server-based profiles. PRTG is used for monitoring.
A couple questions… Why, (why not) What runs on these, How much power does it use, How much internet bandwidth do you have, How much internet bandwidth do you use? Impressive.
@@LONGBOW That's right, I overlooked that in a hurry. A total of four slow internet connections. Four slow internet connections are no substitute for a fast internet connection, but you can at least distribute the load so that you can get by. Currently: 1x DSL16000 = around 1.3 MB/s 1x DSL16000 = around 1.5 MB/s 1x Hyprid-LTE (LTE + DSL16000) = up to 6 MB/s at night 1x LTE = max 11 MB/s, usually only 1 to 3 MB/s In a few weeks, after years of waiting, we'll finally get fiber optic: 1x Down 200 | Up 100 MBit/s 1x Down 500 MBit/s | Up 250 MBit/s Perhaps an upgrade to Down 1000 and Up 500, then you can finally use the cloud pretty quickly. Provided I also get an IPv4.
Only the 385 Opteron servers and the NAS servers are in continuous operation. The DL180 and other servers are backup servers that are started for two or three days approximately every three months. All power-saving measures are active on the 385, in the BIOS and in ESXi (e.g. less voltage for the RAM modules). The Opterons are more economical than the Xeons anyway. The CPUs could be limited to 800 MHz, but that is very slow. My CPUs run in dynamic mode, but they get very loud under load. The DL385 consumes ~220W per server when idle to 270W under load. My two photovoltaic systems generate 140 kWh on good days, so my balance is still good, the servers cannot convert that much into heat. 😜

bro made a lab home. this is amazing

I have answered the questions in the other replies, at least I hope so.
See other posts.
@@TimLumpithe internet questions haven’t been answered I believe. Sounds like fun.
