NEW Video: Watch the QuadraNet Team Build Dozens of Servers!

QuadraNet_AdamQuadraNet_Adam Member
in General

Alright so a lot of us in this community buy and sell LEB's, and it's so convenient that we do it all at the comfort of our computers at home - so the question is how many times do you actually get to see what gets done behind the scenes when building and bringing an actual server online at a datacenter?

Figured that we'd do a time lapse video of our provisioning crew building a batch of brand new servers at our work bench from the ground-up to give you guys an idea of what it's like from start to finish.

This video series is still incomplete - subscribe to our YouTube Channel and stay tuned for another new video coming on the first week of June, where our team physically racks & cables the entire batch of servers in one of our datacenter floors! Enjoy guys :)

    If you're talking about the "seriously2016" user, then he was already banned by LET admins as it was concluded that it was a "troll account" who was never even our customer to begin with. I must say it was a pretty entertaining thread though :p

    In all seriousness, I thought it would be interesting to share this video, since I imagine a good percentage of people here don't actually get to see what goes on behind the scenes at a datacenter, and how a server is built and racked from start to finish. IIRC you are a fellow SoCal resident as well, so next time you're in downtown LA just let me know - I'd love to show you around our facilities and maybe grab some coffee or a bite to eat.

    Thanks!

    I may take you up on that ;)

    On a more serious note, I don't see the point of this outside of advertising QN. See below.

    Rallias!! How are you doing? It's been a while since we spoke and worked together on things. We need to catch up soon.

    And change that mindset! You can't achieve the American Dream with a minimum wage mindset! :p

    I like that it looks like a clean and ordered environment.

    Maybe you take it for granted, but looks like a comfortable setup and having built hardware in very cluttered workplaces in the past, I appreciate it. Not sure about standing without a chair the whole time, though.

    Well, considering I've got a potential thing 400 miles north of you, we may get that chance.

    You still know my skype?

    McDonalds seems to be doing pretty damn good for a "minimum wage mindset". Oh, you mean minimum wage earning mindset, no?

    Standing is a lot more better for your poster then sitting down. More and more offices are trying to do away with chairs.
