    Maybe @xTom can help us to take some photos of our racks in Tokyo and Osaka?

    Your racks are neat and good, your services are solid, the only work to do (may be) is redesigning your website :) just my two cents ;)

    What caught my attention is:

    • They all look so much alike, even though they are from locations all around the world. You can't look at a random photo and say where it was taken.
    • Racks have not changed in the last 20-30 years.

    I got no time for a rack.
    Devices are scattered around the Fast
    Ethernet     switch.
    Cable colors are all over the place.
    Power cords are too long.
    If I need to change something, I just unplug everything.

    Man, you need a microfiber towel ASAP...

    What am I missing? I don't see glass in the pics...

    Bottom left picture, the NUC (i assume) is covered in dust.

    Equipment shown:

    • BeagleBone Black 512MB
    • DELL OptiPlex 7040 Micro
    • FS524 48-port Fast Ethernet switch
    • GL.iNet AR750 wireless router + Toshiba Canvio Advance 2TB hard drive

    Dust everywhere.
    I just suck 'em up

    with vacuum cleaner, not mouth

    Mentally strong people lick ‘em dry.

    @Hivelocity I'm such a fan boy with HiVelocity. Solid service. TPA1 cam looks good. Look at that branding <3

    Thank you for the love. I am sure it sounds cliche but it really does mean a lot to us when someone recognizes our efforts. <3

    You're probably the most respectable and trustable company here.

    One of only maybe three companies here I could rely on you still being here five years from now.

    My father-in-law was an executive at Disney. Disney provides their execs with some of the best training in the world and I was fortunate to have him as my mentor. He taught me a lot about focusing on the customer experience, paying attention to the details and always trying to be “exceptional”. Part of the lesson was “people will pay a little extra for knowing they are going to get a reliably exceptional experience.” He passed away this year but I try to honor him by letting people know how much his guidance meant to Hivelocity. We are not perfect but I promise you, we try very hard to be an exceptional provider.

    I've had nothing but great experiences with Hivelocity. I want to personally thank Eric (not sure if he still works there) the Dallas DC Tech for teaching me and helping me out when I was first starting in the business. Nothing but good looks from the Dallas team and they help out where they can (luckily haven't needed anything recently).

    If you are referring to Eric L, yes he still works for HV at DAL1 and he is absolutely a rock star.

    No sir, Eric P.

    Eric P still works at DAL1 and is also very much a rock star. You all are making my night. Thank you! I will be sure to mention this to Eric P asap.

    I haven't used Hivelocity for a long time, but it's also one of the hosts I trust the most, and probably the first host I'd go to if I needed a high quality (non-low-end) dedicated server.

    I used to have a Core 2 Duo server with 2GB RAM and a free upgrade from 10Mbps to 100Mbps. The first server I ever had at a 'proper' host. A sysadmin named Steve C used to help me back in... I'd guess 2011 to 2013. Is he still there?

    Daniel, I remember you. Yes, Steve C is still with us. He mostly works overnights at TPA1 and is in DevOps now. I think Steve C has been with us since probably 2007 I bet. #LateNightRockStar

    It's a very good sign when you have lots of long time retention employees.

    Our rack in Bangladesh location.

    Front mounted switch? Never seen that personally... (no hate)

    That's because of cooling. The DC we use recommended it. In our SG location it back mounted.

    Is there a go-to fiber transceiver and cables that just works everywhere and with everything? I know there's the short distance and long distance ones, but I'm guessing within co-located racks, you can limit the choices, easily.

    SR4 with MPO cables has been working great for us.

    ConnectX-6 200Gbps:

    • adapter $1400
    • transceiver $700
    • direct attach cable $200

    Not affordable!

    Certainly, here is something we've posted on our discord:

    A rack of storage 45x3.5" JBODs being assembled (this is pretty much filled by now):

    Overview of couple racks, excuse the few nodes poking out, i guess they were desperate for some human interaction:

    then some DC non-rack photos:

    Some HDDs waiting for revalidation and redoyplement, min size 8TB and largest drives are closest (unsurprisingly smallest stacks of 18TB/16TB lol):

    Wall of RAM, rather empty at this point after so many deployments (used to be more boxes, and fuller boxes):

    Then some working photos:
    Storage warehouse, racks waiting for deployment to new DC (some of them, not all)

    Some switches, 4U 45drive jbods stacked @ warehouse. Some of which is waiting for deployment to new DC and the switches will likely be sold off / recycled (VERY VERY good 48x1G + 4x10G, but way too power hungry). Behind you can see a couple big stacks of Rosewill 4RU cases:

    Working at DC can be at times like:

    Yep! They do a good job if used correctly.

    Thanks! I've been on the fence about them vs other options, but they appear to be great value for money... I think I might pull the trigger on a couple.

    Super clean setup, btw. I like that you've got an optics tray at the top

    Chameleon rack at Texas Advanced Computing Center.
    I can reserve any node in this rack.

    Two rows back, the white box is a liquid cooled system.
    Every once in a while, a naughty student would dunk themselves into the mineral oil, so that they don't have to take exams.
