(Quote) Reason these didn't come online straight away is because they're using the Miami IPv4 subnets which had an issue. I only tested the original subnets we had for Oklahoma when verifying the other day. While we wait on that, I'll be twiddling m…

I just want everyone to know this is the temperature in the hot aisle right now right behind our cabinet. We need to get some people running benchmarks ASAP or I’ll freeze to death. Yes I really brought a smart thermometer with me I wanted to make …

(Quote) I can't leave the datacenter, security is too high someone has to come back and scan their body parts to let me in.
-
(Quote) Taking a look now. Unfortunately I wasn't able to locate your VPS based on the provided information. OKC Update I forgot to drink my coffee before I left, I made it and everything but its sitting on the kitchen counter. I'm devastated.
-
OKC Update Fixed previously mentioned router issue after it was finalized. I have a checklist of things to grab before heading in one last time (hopefully) before we have at least one server ready for migrations. That means barring some new problem…
-
(Quote) I'm not paying attention to that nor can I do much about it other than escalate it. If it stays like that, let me know.
-
(Quote) The part I left off is that I didn't sleep between my last visit to the facility either so I was actually awake for a little over 3 days. It's just hard to sleep sometimes when a lot of exciting work is getting done. Don't worry though, I sl…
-
Something I forgot to post from yesterday. (Quote) Early comparison. I'm comparing it with Dallas CDN77/DataPacket. Average column, rounded. Major cities only, up to first 2 per city. Skipping Dallas (because obvious.) I don't know why I'm complica…
-
I just had to comment because I recognized your logo from how many stickers I've had to remove. We bought around 200-300x E3's from you guys some time ago after you decommissioned them, and we're about to put in Ryzens in the last 80~ of them we hav…

I think I should probably leave as I've been here for 18 hours and honestly that many hours of work didn’t get done this time around, I had to end up dealing with some other things just with terrible internet access. I'm invoking this loophole to l…
-
(Quote) IPv6 only, we could do $6 per year or $9 per 2 years for 2C 4G 40G but only if 20,000 people are interested at once. Let me know after speaking with them all and confirming.
-
(Quote) Okay deal, unless my hotspot gets any worse than it already is right now. Awesome news by the way, I got the connectivity up between the router and switch. I must have just been sleep deprived last time. Well I'm also sleep deprived now but…
-
Alright heading out now, I’ll stay there until I get the network up.
-
@yoursunny I’ve located a box that has your username on it, let me know if you still want it and I should be able to send it out within a couple more years as long as you still live there.
-
I’ve relocated the memory for the storage server for probably the 5th time. I need to stop walking around with it in my hand. Now time to relocate the 16GB DDR4 that I need for that other specific server. Someone remind me to put a camera in every …
-
(Quote) I mean it kind of took care of itself, they can’t hurt us if they’re out of business. I do want to give a huge shoutout to Ivan at LAX though he was an amazing tech and I hope he found a great position somewhere else. Also to kind of balanc…

(Quote) I live closer to the datacenter than the two main people that work there. Once my car window rolls back up during thunderstorms I’ll be unstoppable.
-
I have two stories for you guys, backstories for two servers we got back. First let's talk about the miracle of MIAZ014. I had my noise cancelling headphones while packing the servers in Miami, so I did not notice this at all: the tech in Miami, af…
-
Some great news. (Quote) I was able to get a deal worked out so we're now going to also have a third carrier. Cogent's going to be another 2-3 weeks, I haven't received a timeline for setup but I think this is going to greatly improve the network. …
-
Should have a more thorough update later today. It's been raining a lot which kind of makes it difficult to load/unload more equipment and my driver side window broke last week. I'm fine getting rained on while I drive but there's no covered parking…

(Quote) 0GB RAM, 0TB bandwidth

Slight delay, I finally figured out the 40G cable that got delivered is defective. Luckily I ordered several of them and one of the others arrived this morning. I’m going back to grab it and get some breakfast then going back to the DC with the new …
-
Updated photo from the front. Switches are about to come online, followed by a final check on all servers and then I'm probably grabbing some breakfast, then adding the Ryzen servers to SolusVM and fulfilling migration requests. * The bottom ASRock…
-
(Quote) Sure, as long as you like my cable management. Just let me wrap things up with the first cabinet. (Quote) I only did all this so I can have a VPN with low latency so I’m pretty excited too.
-
(Quote) That’s just an independent layer for the second 1G per server, I actually brought it forward like that so I can trace them quicker if I need to right now. The photo probably does make it look like it’s all about to tangle but they’re all on …
-
(Image) I ran out of cable ties and I forgot my roll of CAT6 at home (I was going to cut everything to length from the patch panel) but it turned out pretty okay. And that’s my uhh… finger at the bottom of the photo
-
(Quote) We'll start the weird experiments in this thread as I get VirtFusion and/or whatever else up. There's actually something really cool I've been working on, we can say it's in pre-alpha. In several weeks to a few months we can let you guys do …
-
OKC Update * Some cables were delayed until today, and weather yesterday was on and off rain, so I decided to wait to set up the switches as intended instead of a temporary workaround. It's still going to rain later but enough time to move in more …

(Image) Artistic shot while I’m sitting on the floor looking at spreadsheets, I’ll get another top down when I’m on a ladder.

(Image) Our second cabinet.
-
(Image) Haven’t figured out color coding or optimal positions for these yet. There’s more 48 port panels as well. Finalizing the details now and we’ll get something online.
-
(Image) As you can see it’s a pretty tight fit on the Epyc.
-
(Image) These are the dual nodes I’ll be testing out. The green one is dual Xeon Gold, other is Epyc. And in the background is the 2U storage node. I forgot the RAM at home of course.

Crash cart photo. I’m sad I lost our tiny keyboard that goes along with it. I’ll get another one and make a little cart. (Image)

Whoever wants to move to Oklahoma: Click "Contact us" on the submit ticket page and select the service you want to have moved. Select "Other Issue" and "Continue" -- Copy/paste the following subject and message and sub…

(Quote) Ryzen nodes are exactly the same, so higher end consumer. They also go under VirMach brand and SolusVM1. Epyc and Intel Gold (if any) will have Enterprise NVMe SSD. So both for bare metal and VPS nodes. E5's will likely be SAS SSD. Bare m…

I was too tired to post an update last time, I basically had to remove and re-rack everything and reconfigure the router as a result since I forgot to finish setting up the sync configuration before powering it down. One good thing that came from th…
