Figured this hasn't been done before. We recently moved into a new building, and re-did some of our infrastructure while moving in. A former co-worker was let go before we moved in, so never got to see the final product and wanted me to snap some pictures. I figured I'd post them up as well. Sorry for the poor quality - these were taken with a cell phone. All incriminating information has been removed (I hope).
We're a smaller company (less than 100 people), so not too much going on, but it's exciting, as we've gone from probably half a rack, to nearly filling 2 48U racks in a matter of 2 years.
I always love seeing what other server rooms look like (especially smaller companies). I always had the pain of working with racks too wide, stacking equipment on top of each other, etc., and it was a nice change getting to deal with professional equipment. I've worked in larger data centers, but working for a small company always has it's challenges!
First look as you enter the room - This was before anythinig was in place and boxes were kinda everywhere
Another angle of the racks when they were empty
Halon system protecting the room from fire
The view when walking into the room
The work/lab area to the left to the racks (we don't sit in there, thank god)
Various Electrical Equipment - Generator panel, halon/fire alarm panel, light timers, circuit breaker panels, etc.
Front Upper Shot of the first rack
Front Lower shot of the first rack
iSCSI SAN Unit and Switches for the SAN network
Core LAN Switches and KVM Switches
Area just below the KVM and above SAN Switches - Primarily DCs, SQL, Exchange, File servers, web and 1U slide out monitor/keyboard/mouse unit
Upper shot of the 2nd rack - There's a light right above this rack, so the pictures suck even more
Front Lower shot of the 2nd rack
Close up of the upper stuff - SSL VPN, firewall, DMZ switch, couple of web/ftp servers
More web servers, f5 load balancer, mitel voip controller
APC UPS Units (3 per rack - only for temporary backup until generator kicks on)
Front of the racks when the lights are off
Venting into the ceiling for Air Removal Units on the back of the racks (we have these, as we're planning on replacing most of the equipment with blades when we start replacing equipment / expanding)
1st Floor Wiring Closet Patch Panel
Fiber ONT Panel from 1 of our ISPs
