There is acctually something like too many servers.

Sunday, November 30th, 2008

I’ve realized, the hard way, that there acctually is something like to many servers. Soon after i pulished my gallery my AC in the computer room broke and it became VERY hot, VERY quickly. Now barely half of the servers are back online and that’s how it’s going to have to be until I find some co-location.

I’ve been looking into a few different options when it comes to co-location, but of course the best thing would be if I could have my servers at my work. If that’s not possible I have a few other options that are up for discussion, until then let me know if you know where to get a sweet deal on co-location in Stockholm, Sweden.

Unfortunately I can’t keep the servers at home as I would like to do, happy servers means a happy Amelia. :)

CablesComputers

Today I’ve been re-arranging my servers in the computer room, installed an AC to keep them cool and changed my small Cisco Catalyst 2940 to it’s bigger friend Cisco Catalyst 2950. As you always do when you’re going to move your servers and change switch I planned to get rid of that horrible cable mess that suddenly appeared from nowhere all around your servers.

All into my idea of a perfectly looking computer room without this cable hell behind the servers I did shutdown every computer in the room, including the one with over 500 days of uptime, even though it did hurt a little bit inside me.

After a few hours of moving servers around, pulling out and pluging in of cables I’m finaly done and my computer room does have a lower temperature, the servers that needs it is hooked up for the UPS and another cable mess, atleast it’s a slightly more stylish cable mess. :)
