All of the projects I take on require storage space, working support services, domain and security infrastructure, etc. One server's just not enough. Neither is two or three.
All told, there are 8 servers running my office environment.
So many that they raise the temperature of the room they're in by 20 degrees F, and make so much noise you can't hear yourself think.
Which is why the servers don't share the office with me. They are relegated to a seperate room where the temperature, power, and noise can be better regulated.
The servers themselves vary in specs from dual processor Pentium IIIs to newer top of the line Xeon Dell rackmounts.
The rack is a Dell 24U.
The network backbone is gigabit to all servers and workstations.
Internet connectivity is provided by Comcast Business Class.
