Used to be the office but now it's the lounge, connected to the router, plasma and amp via ethernet, HDMI and coaxial.
WOW, that's quite a setup.I'm in the "other" category. My servers are in the garage, which I converted into a small datacenter.
The garage has two separate 60 amp circuits. One is wired into each of the top plugs, the other into the bottom, so that each wall socket has two circuits. One circuit is supported by a gas-powered emergency generator and each circuit has a UPS with enough battery reserve for 10 minutes of operation - enough time to cut over to the generator.
Two T1's come into the house, each to its own switch. All servers have redundant NICs and power supplies.
All servers are either RHEL using RHEL Cluster Suite or Windows Cluster Server.
WOW, that's quite a setup.
Then why are you running it out of your garage?More of an occupational hazard. At any given moment, one of my clients could have a problem which required me to bring up a set of virtual machines to duplicate their environment and develop a fix - either code or procedures. Some of them measure the cost of downtime per hour in the $millions.
Millions of dollars? you have that many clients from your garage and only having two T1 lines? I don't think soMore of an occupational hazard.

He didn't say he has alot of clients. He said that some of them measure their downtime per hour......Millions of dollars? you have that many clients from your garage and only having two T1 lines? I don't think so

You're right, I'd love to see photos of the setup.Why not? Its not like its really a garage, its just what the space was originally designed for. It suits my needs. I've built and ran data centers for almost 20 year. Now I can work from home. I get to be my own boss and pay myself what I'm worth instead of what someone else thinks I'm worth.
I've seen people convert their garage into a game room so they can have a pool table. I converted mine into a small data center so I can have a life.
