Ok and here's a beancake
>>767398875
wow nice
storage size
>>767398701
I’ll bite, why do you need a server like that at home?
file sharing with friends.
Plex server sharing, camera, ftp site, storage etc
>>767399454
You can do all that on a laptop.
Hell, you can do that on a smartphone.
>>767399571
Yeah but i have autism

this
and carpet? are you joking?
I have a walk in closet with an AC vent that I've thought about turning into a server room before.
The closet is big enough to hold a twin size bed.
.....who the fuck would have a server at home in fucking 2018
>>767399571
yes but on smartphone is not easy to have 18 to storage and backups are very important

Nice speeds.
Do you have a 10GbE switch or just nic to nic?
Looking for a good 10GbE switch, 24 port, rackmount; UNMANAGED, dumb switch
>>767400096
Considering that a smartphone is basically a miniturized computer, yes.
>sql server, exchange
Not sure why tf you would want to, but you don't even need hardware for these if you have office365.
>>767400451
Wow crazy
>>767400618
If your mom finds out you have that picture of her she's going to ground you.
>>767398954
Nice wiring.
>>767400711
Just nic to nic.
A recommended switch is a Netgear xs708e. Has 8 ports and costs about 8 bills
>>767400725
>Considering that a smartphone is basically a miniturized computer, yes.
and pathetic performance compared to a basic PC, much less my servers.
>Not sure why tf you would want to, but you don't even need hardware for these if you have office365.
just continually pay for a service instead of actually owing the software forever, okay
>>767401117
>A recommended switch is a Netgear xs708e. Has 8 ports and costs about 8 bills
too bad it's managed and only 8 ports :(
gigabit network
transfer 100mo / s
Switches ubiquiti es 24 lite managable
Edge router lite ubiquiti
>>767401238
Why are managed switches bad?
Well you could buy 3 of them for 24 ports.
Also keep in mind these things run hot so fans are noisy
I dare not even imagine the internet connection
>>767400618
>that rack sag
>>767401425
sounds all bad tbh esp at 8 bills a pop
>>767400618
Bedroom is fine, but I'd keep that in the kitchen, and only bring it to the bedroom over night
noise level no more than a fan not disturbing
>>767401425
>Why are managed switches bad?
I've owned many managed switches, from 100mb to 10gb and they've all had performance issues. Granted it could be me but with the amount of switches I've tried, from various manufactures and classes (small business to enterprise) I'm inclined to believe it's not me. They all hit a hard wall performance wise and no amount of tuning on my part could remedy that.
>Also keep in mind these things run hot so fans are noisy
My rack is pretty loud when full tilt, noise of not a major concern.
>>767398954
servers are PoE or something?
lol
>>767401150
Don't feed the troll...
There are end users, and then there are us.
>>767401602
10 gigabit networking isn't cheap ... yet
Although Asus has a inexpensive 10 gig nic but only works on Windows I think
>>767401792
what do you think of ubiquiti
>>767400711
>UNMANAGED
>>767401238
>too bad it's managed
you know you can just ignore that aspect of it right? it will work exactly like an unmanaged switch out of the box?
>>767401807
>servers are PoE or something?
lol, no, that picture was taken before I installed the custom length power cables to the PDU on the left.
me it's in the cellar no worries about noise

No pictures on my phone, but if the thread is still around, I might take some for y'all..
The rack in the living room is loaded with AV gear. In before "why when you can roku and a sound bar?" something equally stupid.
The one in the back is rather empty and full of boxes, but it does have a dual Xeon server machine running my torrents, FTP and network storage. Soon to also run a cloud server so I can keep the family's phones backed up locally, and can also keep tabs on the pictures my kid is taking, even the ones he deletes before I can see them
This is also bait because his ISP would throttle the fuck out of his traffic, unless he was paying extra for it
>>767401928
>you know you can just ignore that aspect of it right? it will work exactly like an unmanaged switch out of the box?
In my experience, it will not performance wise.
See picture, left is unmanaged 24 port GbE switch, small business class; right is enterprise class 52 port switch, 48x GbE and 4x 10GbE.
The only difference in these screenshots is the switch, everything else stayed the same.
>>767401336
>ubiquiti
>buy AP
>sorry you need config server to use it!
fuck off cunto, never speak to me or my openwrt AP again.
>>767402174
I'll also put a cloud server in place instead of using ftp for everything
ٲ>>767402441
thats nice but can you do this?
>>767401901
>what do you think of ubiquiti
Can't say, have no experience with them.
>>767402441
so?
why does everything else about the switch changing too point to in being managed?
>>767402441
benchmarking iSCSI performance BTW, enterprise class switch is managed obviously...maybe just poorly managed by me? I tried for 2 months to get decent performance out of it, tried and failed...

I don't understand what you're asking.

Context, makes the posts easier to read IMHO, don't have to bounce all around over the thread to see WTF is going on.
>Do you have asbergers or something?
Probably.

?
difference of reading and writing left and right
>>767402604
>why does everything else about the switch changing too point to in being managed?
In my experience with 20+ different managed switches, some from the same manufactures as the dumb switches I've had no issues with, they've all suffered from performance issues, some aspects they would be much better performance wise than their dumb counterparts but overall the performance was sub-par.
Mine
>>767403760
I had a zyxel before unmanageable and the cons level performance it was not terrible 80 mo / s and here with ubiquiti manageable 100 mo / s not huge but better

Not a bad price on this switch

Do not like that it has mixed ports, 12 SFP+ and 4 RJ45
>>767399670
I would have believe this, only if you thrown Raid 0 on this one.

Main file server is broken up into 4 drive Raid10 arrays. Great performance, redundancy, fast rebuild times, only downside is the 50% storage efficiency :(
backup file servers are Raid6.

Colocation, where you pay to have rackspace in a data center.
only question is ... why?
GBE internet + cloud.
also, Linux those servers. Windows is for gaming.
>>767405239
agree!
>>767405239
I have an unnatural hatred for linux and why not Windows?
>>767405264
and when your mom and dad live together.. colocation of your family.
>>767398701
no 10Gbe...
I do some cool things with windows file servers, like DFS, DFSR and SIS. Easy to setup and operate, performance is fine.
>>767405333

>>767405457
IDK what it is about linux that rubs me the wrong way but I just effing hate it, have for the past 20 years and will into the foreseeable future.
I've used many different OSs, from BeOS, QNX, *BSD, FreeBSD being my favorite non-MS OS.

>continually pay for a service instead of actually owing the software
Doesnt change the fact that you're using Microsoft garbage.
guess what I ordered OP?
>>767402712
Honestly, iscsi over Ethernet is terrible since it layers the scsi protocol over Ethernet to emulate a fake hard drive. Use cifs or nfs instead, which are purpose built to work with Ethernet. Also, multipathing helps.
>>767406083
>not too much command line for me, it gives me the button lol
I'm quite content in a shell or cmd window, I write code all day long. Windows is just more polished than linux, it might be a turd but it's a polished turd, unlike linux IMHO. I believe linux could be much better if it wasn't so fragmented, too many half-assed finished flavors...
>>767407158
Can I boot windows off of CIFS or NFS? That benchmark is from one of my diskless boxes...
>>767405905
Then why not freebsd?
>>767407499

>Can I boot windows off of CIFS or NFS?
Only if you had an HBA. Either way, you don't have to use shares as boot disks. That could remain iscsi independently so whether or not you can boot from them seems irrelevant.
>>767407722
>changing everything
Like what?
The best way to learn bsd is to force yourself to use it and don't allow yourself to use windows as a crutch for your lack of knowledge.
>>767407914
Also, you could pxe boot.
