supermicro cases? what model number is that?

I dont care what the datacenter looks like. I just want my server to stay online. I "like" hosts that spend more time taking pictures of the datacenter and rearranging cables than making sure the core router hasnt been compromised. Well, not really. Oh yeah, and I dont pay more to host somewhere because the people in charge of the NOC give every other server a different colored patch cord.

looking good but i doubt if it will be easy to replace a utp cable there

you neat freaks :)

That my rack?

I don't care if the datacenter is a mess as long as my servers are running smooth and fast.

LOL I saw your rack when you were drunk in phoenix and its not the pretty :winkwink:

Looks nice Brad but being down the street from you and hosting some servers there your attention to detail does not suprise me.

AdultEUHost, actually, it's easier here than at any other setup - guaranteed. All of those runs are 3-4' gigabit cat6 wired locally to that rack in the adjacent internal or external network switch. The covers on the cable management on the sides and between the two switches snaps out for easy access. Every run is visible and replaceable within moments.

Spudstr, it is a variation of the SC512.

SiMple... Maybe... but most of yours are SCSI Dell Dual Xeons.

To those few that think none of us work here because we already made the patch cords pretty... that's just the dumbest thing I've ever heard. And suggesting that it is acceptable for any host to be slobs in the datacenter is naive. Cabling, cooling, power management, labeling - these aren't incidental issues to hosting, these are important when it comes to serving your customers properly.

Thats true, Brad. But you have it almost too neat in there... if I didnt know any better I would say that you have Monk in charge of your NOC or something. I dont know, not trying to trash your thread or nothing but it just seems like something like this shouldnt be held out as a main selling point. Aww, fuck me. Im a moron, what do I know. Maybe I am jealious I couldnt keep my rack like that back before I reduced down to the three boxes I have now. :(

I can't agree more :thumbsup

50..........

You've got a pretty tight setup :D

Thank you! We are always looking for ways to improve everything... servers, operating system, networking setup, support. We always need to be two steps ahead and continuously raising the bar. It's all about having happy customers!

Brad

God damn, it looks so good i want to hump it.
