In this video I give you a quick update and go through the upgrades I made to the Dell R720. Taking it from a single Hex Core with 96GB RAM to Dual Ten Core CPUs with 192GB RAM

This is a quick overview of a Dell R540 (one of two) acquired for a bit of storage work at my day job.

Here’s a quick New Year update and a quick rambling of some changes made and some plans for the future.

So after a bit of a break (whoops) here is a quick run down of what’s now in my rack and why some changes occurred.

In this video I cover some quick changes I’ve made to the server and also the network. Also some upcoming changes and videos I may have teased.

Getting 10Gb Links using DAC and no switch.

Upgrading the X4170 M2 CPUs and RAM to make it a bit more potent.

I take a look at the Oracle Sun Fire X4170 M2. A nice compact 1U system featuring dual LGA 1366 processors and 18 DIMMs.

Storage Server 2015 was a roller coaster of a build. There were many things that tried to stop the updating of the storage server, although it ended up working out!
