Server rack consisting of:
- rackmount 8-port GigE managed switch
- readynas 1100 - with 4x 2TB (WD2002FYPS) drives - XRAID
- readynas 1100 - with 4x 1TB (WD1002FBYS) drives - XRAID
- readynas 3200 - with 12x 2TB (WD2002FYPS) drives - XRAID2
- custom built 3RU linux process server - runs my UPS monitoring server, http/ftp fileservers, and various databases
- custom built 3RU linux file server with 6x 200GB (WD) drives - hardware raid5 (promise hardware raid card) - now pretty much defunct (hasn't been turned on since i got the readynas 1100 systems)
- APC UPS - SUA1500RM
- monitor, keyboard and kvm switch
Network Rack consisting of:
- rackmount 24-port GigE managed switch
- 24-port rack patch panel (going to various drops in the house - only 22 are in use :)
- custom built mini-ATX PC as my network gateway (dual intel GigE nics)
- Apple Airport Express 802.11n wireless access point
- DLink 802.11b wireless access point
Then random stuff in the network (laptops, PCs, printers, etc.) that use the fore-mentioned items :)
Eventually my server rack will be upgraded with a 2RU tape backup auto-loader, to provide me with some much needed offsite backups.
