Edu-IT Posted January 18, 2010 Posted January 18, 2010 Since the rack pictures never made it to the stand at BETT due to other things taking precedence, if you sent pictures for the displays how about posting them here so we can see?
Domino Posted January 18, 2010 Posted January 18, 2010 I must have missed the original thread - either that or forgotten... Any special criteria for these pics? or just snap away?
mjs_mjs Posted January 18, 2010 Posted January 18, 2010 The server room in a box at BETT. Complete with Ric's hand.
Edu-IT Posted January 18, 2010 Author Posted January 18, 2010 I must have missed the original thread - either that or forgotten... Any special criteria for these pics? or just snap away? There was a thread asking for pictures of your server racks in school for BETT posters. Snap away!
glennda Posted January 18, 2010 Posted January 18, 2010 ill do it next time i venture down to the server room, but might be a whil as its the other end of the building!
Dos_Box Posted January 18, 2010 Posted January 18, 2010 The next addition to the server-room-in-a-box will be a 1u 4TB SAN using this chassis: LinITX.com - Travla TE-1160 Rackmount Barebone System Hmmm...storage goodness! I shall try and get a few pics posted tomorrow.
webman Posted January 18, 2010 Posted January 18, 2010 For storage, have you considered the Netgear ReadyNAS rack mount devices? ReadyNAS 1100 : NETGEAR ReadyNAS Community RNR4450 - ReadyNAS? 1100 2 TB Dual Gigabit Rackmount Network Storage (4 x 500 GB)
Dos_Box Posted January 18, 2010 Posted January 18, 2010 If I were to buy that it would cost £1170 for 4TB. If I were to build it, which is much more fun, and run FreeNAS on it it would cost about £700.
webman Posted January 18, 2010 Posted January 18, 2010 Good point. Plus it's a lot more fun building your own
Dos_Box Posted January 18, 2010 Posted January 18, 2010 Especially when you eventually get it to work!
FN-GM Posted January 18, 2010 Posted January 18, 2010 I cant understand what this rack will do, what purpose will it serve? Just wondering really. Sorry for the hijack
Edu-IT Posted January 18, 2010 Author Posted January 18, 2010 I cant understand what this rack will do, what purpose will it serve? Just wondering really. Sorry for the hijack Be used at places like BETT, conferences etc and also shows off companies products who sponsor the forum so gives us a chance to see them in a working environment when we're attending an EduGeek conference or something. Also, it's a bit of fun to see what can be achieved?
Dos_Box Posted January 18, 2010 Posted January 18, 2010 No. It's all a proof-of-concept. We did it to see if we could.
Edu-IT Posted January 18, 2010 Author Posted January 18, 2010 The nas wont be from a sponsor.... I was talking more about the rack in general as it stands now.
jamesreedersmith Posted January 18, 2010 Posted January 18, 2010 Fun thing to do!! - thats why id do it and maybe buy one - great as a training setup.
