Well I finally found a little time to update the look and feel of my blog. I have been busy with work which is a good thing but it has distracted me from stuff like this. I recently upgraded all the servers on my rack and finally got everything (including this blog you are reading now) migrated over, so in my spare time I have been playing with them rather than writing. For those of you that like tech specs here is the basics of what I got on my rack:

• 24-port 100BASE-T switch with 2 Gigabit ports
• 8-port KVM
• Firewall – Quad Core Xeon w/4GB RAM & and a 4-port network card.
• Web/App Server – Dual Quad Core XEON w/8GB RAM
• Database Server – Dual Quad Core XEON w/8GB RAM
• Monitor & Keyboard

All systems have RAID 1 (Mirroring) for redundancy and protection against any single drive failure. The entire rack is also on separate circuit breakers as well as battery backup. Later on I will expose the details of my setup. I am currently in the process of building the ultimate desk, or in my mind a personal NOC/Command Center. Majority of the desk is still in the design phase, however I did just get my Ergotron LX arms for my triple monitor setup which is soon expanding to a penta-monitor setup (hopefully). Anyway thats the down low as of late. I plan to create an entire page here on my home office/server room setup that I will keep as up-to-date as possible. Until next time I hope you have enjoyed my ramblings.
