    Power

    • 2x feeds into the rack (same circuit but we’ll work on that)
    • Eaton 2000VA double conversion UPS on Feed A
    • APC 1500VA line interactive UPS on Feed B (bypassed, replacing it with another double conversion 2kVA eventually)

    Network

    • 2x Dell N2048P, stacked (potentially getting replaced with 2x stacked Cisco 9300)
    • FortiGate firewall
    • 1000/50 FTTP primary Internet link
    • 4G backup Internet link using a different Telco (the dream is to replace this with Starlink)

    Storage

    • Synology 4-bay NAS with 4x4TB in RAID-10 (for overflow storage from Virtual SAN cluster)
    • HP MSL2024 8GB Fiber Channel LTO5 Tape autoloader for off-site backup

    Compute

    • Dell R520 running VMware ESX for Production (2x Xeon E5-2450L, 80GB DDR3, 4x500GB SSD RAID-10 for Virtual SAN, 1x10TB SATA “scratch” disk, 2x10G fibre storage NICs, 2x1G copper NICs for VM traffic)
    • Dell R330 running VMware ESX for backups and DR (1x Xeon E3-1270v5, 32GB DDR4, 2x512GB SSD RAID-1, 2x4TB HDD RAID-1, 8G FC card for tape library)

    A second prod host will join the R520 soon to add some redundancy and mirror the Virtual SAN.

    All VMs are backed up and kept in an encrypted on-site data store for at least 4 weeks. They’re duplicated to tape (encrypted) once a month and taken off site. Those are kept for 1 year minimum. Cloud backup storage will never replace tape in my setup.

    Services

    As far as “public facing” goes, the list is very short:

    Though I do run around 30-40 services all up on this setup (not including actual non-prod lab things that are on other servers or various SBCs around the place).

    If I had unlimited free electricity and no functioning ears I’d be using my Cisco UCS chassis and Nexus 5K switch/fabric extenders. But it just isn’t meant to be (for now, haha).
