During 2009 we are replacing our entire IT infrastructure.

New Toys (blade servers) up and running!

Well, it's finally happened. Wright Hassall have some top quality servers in the building. This kit is pretty well regarded as perfect for what we are trying to achieve, plus a lot more. Lots of connectivity options, lots of flashing lights and enough fans to rival a small aircraft at the nearest airstrip! When those fans run full bore, they shift some serious air...

The outline of the gear is as follows:

2 blade enclosures (housing 9 blade servers), a nice big SAN (Storage Attached Network) and a fast tape drive. All attached into the new infrastructure on 4 redundant FAST links.

Specs and configuration to follow.

Enjoy.
