An improvised server room I put together for the Computer and Network System Administration program at MTU. Viewed: 60 times.
|
This storage room houses "infrastructure" servers for a self-contained network, supporting roughly 150 hosts for the CNSA program, including two VMware clusters. Viewed: 51 times.
|
On the wire rack is a 14-node VMware cluster, composed of Dell OptiPlex GX620 desktop PCs. Space and scheduling limitations made VMware an obvious solution for supporting several CNSA courses, compared to housing this hardware in labs. Viewed: 53 times.

This cluster currently runs VMware Server on RHEL AS 4.4, but will soon run VMware ESX 3i. At that time, the 100-Mbit switch will be upgraded to Gbit. Viewed: 61 times.
|
Each GX620 currently has 3 GB RAM and around 300 GB local storage. Viewed: 63 times.
|
No KVM or serial consoles are use (due to budget limitations), but the hardware has been quite reliable so far. Viewed: 53 times.

Older servers used for network services, "scavanged" from other areas. These provide firewall/bridging, name service, DHCP, Windows Terminal Services, a bastion host, Windows Active Directory, and NFS/CIFS file service. Viewed: 54 times.

A display, KVM, and UPS round out the cabinet. Viewed: 62 times.
|
Two managed switches and two PDUs are mounted in the rear of the cabinet. Clear labeling is important when keeping five networks straight. Viewed: 50 times.
