Storage solutions

• Hardware
• Software
• everything else

Servers

When buying new hardware there are a few points you should check beforehand:

• Replacement Hardware
• Warranty handling
• Rack rails compatibility
• Remote management
• Power consumption

• complete vs barebone vs DIY servers
• Remote Management (ILOs)

Tape Drives / Auto Loader

For long term backup tapes are still the best solution. For huge amounts of data an autoloader is must. Its a mechanical beast with damn moving parts that tend to get stuck/break/do other things.

Autoloaders

• HP SSL1016 tape autoloader

Racks

Racksize choice

Layouts

CH's rack layout - also known as "the golden way"

Wiring methods

Philip's rack wiring procedure - also known as "the true way"
