My New Apartment
July 3rd, 2007 in News.
This August I moved into a school-owned apartment while I work for the Manufacturing Eng department designing and building prototypes for outside companies. It’s handy because I’ll be living there next year so I won’t move twice. I appear to have accrued a large amount of computing and routing equipment over the last year… Take a look at the racks:
On the left, from top to bottom we have: Monitor, serial to network controller, two 3Com switches, an HP router and two Cisco 2500s, a unmanaged switch for the external connections, a managed 100 meg switch then a managed 10 meg switch for internal connections, a Sun Ultra 5, two 4U dual proc Intel boxes, and a Centillion fiber router with OC3 and OC12 cards (those are two OC12 lines running to the upstairs of the apartment for transfer between the two places).
The middle ”rack”/stack is a quad proc SGI box, then two Sun e450s with 4 sparc procs and 4 gigs of ram each.
The rightmost rack is mostly storage at the moment, and contains a kvm, a switch, network printer, oscilloscope, a Sun Ultra5 and Ultra 10, a 2U intel box, a managed 10 meg hub, and 2 more 4U intel boxes.
