Current Setup (2017)

< back

Things haven't change much since 2013. However there have been some additions (in italics)

...but first: The pictures :-)

Overview
Racks and workplace: Networking stuff (leftmost), Origin 200, Altix 350, Vaxen and FC switch (Brocade 2800). A decserver 200 for serial consoles can also be found. Origin 2400 rack an the right side...

Some specs on the Origin 2400:
8x MIPS R12k 400 MHz
2x MIPS R12k 300 MHz
6x MIPS R10k 250 MHz
24 GB RAM
IMPACT SI graphics
+ FC, Gbit Ethernet and the other usual stuff...

Different perspective... Right to the Origin Rack an AMD64 server can be found (2x AMD Opteron 4 core, 16 GB RAM, HP SAS hardware RAID controller, Qlogic FC, Mellanox Infiniband, 2x 1 TB, 2x 2TB and 1x 500 GB HDD's, Tyan Thunder H2000 Board. All in a shiny white NZXT case :-) Racks
Network Rack
Network Rack - Not much changed here compared to the 2013 version. ISDN is now disabled due upgrade to VDSL connection...
Rightmost two FritzDECT 200 switches can be seen - major parts of the setup are now completely remote controllable...
Top view... Still the Fritzbox 7390 in action here + Allied Telesyn switches Router

Cable works behind the rack. Concerning cable management: I've done better (the 2013 version looks more "clean" to me) 

Cables 3
FC switch, DECserver
Some more Details: No more free ports on the Brocade 2800 FC switch :-) - But there are some ports left on the Vixel hubs on top of it.
Serial ports on the DECserver 200 are also well populated, connections are mostly serial consoles for remote controlling the servers...  
Video workplace, also some literature (always nice to have) Video workplace   
Origin 2100 and some more displays. This wall will serve as a projection surface for a beamer in the near future... O2100


Switches in the E-Lab (see here for more details on the lab [t.b.d])

3com OfficeConnect stackable components: I like these - quite compact, functional & good looking... The top Gbit switch has the nice "rings" 3COM logo :-)

Color matched (related to the table) Brocade 2800 FC switch and an IBM compact PC for test equipment...
