              One of the things that remains tough about labs is that testing virtualization still requires a lot of hardware. If you want to test XenServer, HyperV, vSphere and KVM in any serious way, that is a minimum of eight servers! If you want to do any cloud, that is a whole bunch more.

              well, at the cost of these servers, i could fill up a rack in no time lol

              Filling up a rack is easy, it is keeping the power on that really gets you.

                    My old home office in Texas had a big floor standing A/C unit to cool the rack. The piping was all painted up in NTG Orange.

                        We aren't a host, but our prod stuff is 151 Front St. Our backup is Mississauga. Our cloud facilities are Chicago, Dallas and Nova. The racks at the "residential datacenter" are the sixth tier down of equipment.

                          Fun fact: The orange spray paint can that was used to paint that piping was the same can that was utilized in the near-famous incident involving @psx_defector , Maker's Mark, and the orange belly... the night before SpiceWorld 2012. 🙂
