My Day - Server Installs

Hey guys, so I spent better half of my day in our freezing server room installing Vmware 6.5 on some new hosts that have arrived.

![](https://i.imgur.com/hzJgFfd.jpg)
 
Our current servers have approached end of life therefore we are doing a complete server refresh. I mentioned in the previous posts that we run shared storage so these badboys will come into our already existing cluster.
 
These servers have 2 SSD drives that are built in which are mirrored and the operating system will reside on it.

What do we use these servers for and what do we have on it?

Answer - We have roughly 30 virtual servers that reside on these hosts and we use this for scalability. We can easily manipluate speed, disk space and processing power by using virtualisation.

We have the following on these servers:

1. Domain Controller
2. Microsoft Exchange Server (For emails)
3. File Server
4. Print Server
5. Database Servers
6. Front End Web servers
7. In house Application
8. Wsus
9. Monitoring Server
10. Backup Server

This will literally become our server infrastructure moving forward which is pretty neat .

Thanks for reading.

I do believe I have found an actual person to follow and not some bot or repost account.   I too like guns and work in IT.  

 How do you like the new ThinkCenters?  We have a H chassis that is EOL and are looking either to refresh or go cloud.

Any Particular reason you all did not decide to go cloud.  Our CEO was like if we loose internet production is dead in the water.   I brought up that physical power is our weak point.   In the past year we have had about 10 separate power outages due to lines or accidents. 

Last night even some guy took out a breaker box with a fork lift.   So I had a plant go down for 3 hours until it could be replaced.   He is lucky he didnt wind up dead with that 440
