It's about time for a little update about my infrastructure !
Technologies used
Servers
So here's my rack, a lot changed since last time:
I'm now running a VMware infrastructure version 6.5 (6.7 doesn't support my CPUs anymore), here are the specs of the main server :
It also has 4 * 3To disks for storage in raid 5. Mostly dedicated to my Xpenology VM, works great btw.
Everything in my home is driven by this rack, my router is a pfsense virtual machine as this gives me more performance than most of the little boxes available on the market:
Monitoring is done by observium and LibreNMS (librenms sends the alerts directly to my rocket chat).
Battle Station
A lot has changed on my battle station:
I now have 2*27 inch screens on the sides (1080p) and a 32 inch 1440p screen in the middle. The configuration of the Beast has changed some, it now has :
CPU :
|
2 x Xeon E5-2690 2.9 GHz (Turbo 3.8Ghz)
|
RAM :
|
64GB ECC 1866Mhz (overclocked)
|
Motherboard :
|
Asrock EP2C602-4L/D16
|
Graphics card :
|
Nvidia GTX 1080 Ti
|
Hard drives :
|
SSD 500GB + 4TB HDD + 2*NVME 1TB
|
Power supply :
|
Antec High Current Pro 1200 Watts
|
Cooling :

Full Noctua air cooling
|
I also tasted the pleasure of 3D printing and I love it:
I now have a Chinese (unbranded) delta printer and a Creality ender 3. 3D printing really begins to become mainstream and is great for DIY and repairs.
That's it for this little update, V to all bikers from my other Beast !
