I love Sun Microsystems!!! This is just a brief video, showing off my rack of servers. I host them out of my home. I’m a really big Sun Microsystems enthusiast, and bought my first Sun hardware almost a year ago.
The four computers you see there are named (from top to bottom): WORK, PLAY, SERVER, and Untangle. WORK is meant for well… work, it has similar processor as PLAY, but is a different model of server. THE Sun Servers use the UltraSPARC II processors, WORK Uses UltraSparc IIe at 500 MhZ, PLAY uses the UltraSparc IIi at 440 MhZ. (Oh and boy do they hum ^_^), WORK has 768 MB ram, PLAY has 256, each one has (2) 10,000 RPM SCSI hard drives, WORK has the larger drives (18G), PLAY has (9.1G). PLAY uses Ubuntu Linux.
SERVER has it’s own set of rules, and is mostly used as a Home Server. (Pentium II, 256 RAM, (2) Hard Drives: (1) 20 GIG, (1) 200 GIG.
Untangle, is well, just that. It untangles all the traffic and acts as a virus-scanning, spyware de-spying, port-blocking behemoth that I love oh so well. (Best of all, it’s FREE!!!)
All this is being tied together by a D-Link DGL-4500. The thing is a beast, so I put a fan on it to keep it nice and cool. (I don’t mind the noise)
