A friend's company render farm at Madrid

On my way to Hungary a friend invited me to see his company's offices.

Battery cabinets that power one of the UPS. (Armadi di batterie che alimentano uno degli UPS.)

Here's where I cut my teeth on the setup of a website's hardware. The former Exodus corporate site was running on two load-balanced e450 servers, an A1000 RAID drive, a Dell system running Red Hat and a Windows server for e-marketing software. I spent WAY too many hours standing in this tiny cage configuring servers and networking gear. Ear plugs and a coat required.

Two racks filled with Facebook Open Compute servers.

Red cylinders for water and gray cylinders for nitrogen. (Bombole rosse per l'acqua e bombole grigie per l'azoto.)

The raised floor is one meter high. Inside there are three levels of ducts. (Il pavimento flottante è alto un metro. Al suo interno ci sono tre livelli di tubi e canaline.)

too much servers piled on a small cabinet... needing some fresh air ufff...

Another look at how they stack the servers.

Cable connections to the UPS. (Cavi di collegamento all'UPS.)

What is this animal doing back here?

Ok, not really. :-) This is the back of one of the rows of servers in my data room. We're not the neatest shop in the world but you don't want to see what it looked like before I got my hands on it. We are moving out operations to a hosted data center soon but we'll always have a number of servers in the office for dev and hosting. It'll be nice to not have to worry about production servers, though, as the data center staff will be responsible.

Now that's just absurd...
