I took the opportunity to take a few snaps of a few of our machines in work after a power outage.

The new production machine sitting next to the new (S2A-9900) and old (S2A-9550) DDN storage, there is about 100tb of storage excluding the old IBM DS4400 storage. Only ~1200 compute cores, its of a modest sized for a university I guess.

The old production machine, there is only ~700 cores, but its over three years old now, it was an early infiniband cluster, this is just the front of the machine, its 11racks in size unlike the the new machine which is only 4racks, this is all excluding storage racks.

The rest are just service racks for other things..., notice the cabling mess, we took the opportunity to clean up three years worth of uncontrolled cabling and installing of new machines.
