I’ve found myself working on a fun project. I’m helping a customer figure out what to do with their datacenter. It’s a pre-built environment for a service that’s being shuttered. There are options for us to sell off the equipment, or to find somebody else to take over the environment. Servers: – Qty 80 (approximately) IBM x3655 servers each with 1 dual-core Opteraon 2218, and 2x 73GB 10K SCSI drives with hardware raid1 (Memory configs currently unknown) – Qty 02 F5 BigIP 6400 configured for HA – Qty 02 Cisco 6509-E with Sup720s, 3x 100MBps 48-port blades each – Qty 02 Cisco 3550-48 switches – Qty 01 Internap FCP (I believe the 500) Right now we’re open to options, which may be liquidating the environment, or building this out as a DR site for a customer, or turning this into a couple of build to suit hosted LAMP environments.
Need a 2nd datacenter quickly?
