- In the summer of 2016 we decided to move our server room to a new location. Here is the video of the server room build in fast forward. We went for Cat6 cables and patch panel from our cat5.
It took us about 3 months working on weekends. - Věda a technologie

Ok so maybe I didn't clarify well the above video, as I am getting a lot comments that it could of been done in a smaller amount of time. Well yes maybe it could, hands off to people that can do it. When I say in 3 months its not only what you see here. There were 120 net lines we had to pass through six floors, the 3 months also includes the cabling that was done through the floors and ceilings and the plug installation.
I feel bad bro reading almost all of them i
Even joined in a little on some comments best treads ever!!!!!! You did a great job and I'm a pro so I hope you know that I know your good in my book. Could have had it done in 8 days maybe lol just one more jab sorry lol
I understand with respect for your work take care buddy 😁
What for music plays a background?
No matter what you do there are always CZcams viewers who could do it better faster, cheaper or whatever. What's especially galling is when the so-called pros do it. If you're a professional then you should know that you can't speculate on the time it took to do a job without knowing the particulars of the given job. You don't know whether they could only get access to the location for limited hours. You don't know if they had legacy equipment that was still in service and could only be shut down at a particular time. We are only seeing what happened in that one room. There could have been issues with the local power utility/electricians getting power to the room. If you don't know the particulars then ask or shut up and keep it moving.

The more time you waste, the more sure you are of your build. Building faster can create unforseen errors in construction and will screw it up more. As we built our servers for 5 months we've learned that slower is more better than building faster because you do things in detail
R.I.P. Windows
Literally
I'm glad I wasn't the only person bummed by this.
what?
RIP? They're still there lol. I don't understand what the point of leaving them there and putting the wall on the inside is however. If something breaks the glass, it's going to be a pain to replace the window.
It's a safety measure, since someone could bust those windows and walk right into the server room. This is common practice when retrofitting a room that has windows.
@@DarkStar851
Yes, that's the purpose, but still if the windows break, they can't just leave the broken glass on the side of the building only to fall and cut someone. Also, concealing windows helps with heat management because sunlight in the day and darkness at night is a hell of a fluctuation to manage.
*Such a peaceful video to watch and listen to*
Mr Anderson thanks
Mr Anderson bksb wlkïifhjxk安安安看空间三点半ㅜ쿠쿠 ㅜ ㅜㅌㅌ.ㅏㅏㅠ
@EVANCOOL lol yes it did at one stage
A great and very useful video, and hopefully whoever comes after keeps those cables well organized!
Having done this kind of work for the better part of 25 years what you accomplished part time in three months is impressive. Excellent! People that've never done this stuff have no clue how time consuming it is. If you try to do it half assed you'll be doing it again very soon. Well done guys!
We took our time we had a timelime and had no pressure to finish as the old system was still working
Update: we have added anti shocks to the racks in case of an earthquake so that the racks dont move or fall over, which is extreme but I want to be sure just in case. We will also update the aircon to a newer system as the old system is giving us problems. It actually turned of after a power failure and when i got in it was like a oven.
You should also install a temperature alarm for when the A/C goes off.
@@Axristosgr already done the ups handles the temperature sensor
You should also get a Fire Suppresoon system, I recommend the FM2-000.
@@iangonzalez1937 Yes we already have that in place.
Love doing this kind of work. Complete installs, the planning everything
really enjoyed the vid, gotta say i loved the part of watching the dry wall sag over at around the 1:25 mark. Ive always been curious about it but was fascinating to see it happen.
in 3 months!!! holy cow that is an amazing job, it took us 4 staff to finish it in 7 n half, that includes routing cables to the secondary building to the mains. but the most annoying part was the fact that I made a mistake tryin to finish it quickly as possible.
Rookie employee here
nicely done! once upon a time i wanted to do this sort of thing for a career... nearly did too! but now i can watch excellence in motion, i may have missed my chance but seeing such excellence will do for me 😊
thats a bril job! i'd be proud to say thats my server room (if it was mine that is!) you guys (any gals too?) worked your asses off not just in there but out in the building too... you deserve more acknowledgement for your work!
It sounds like they were working under sub-optimal conditions, but if anyone watching is planning to do a similar project take heed: you really should do all of the drywall finishing before even thinking about moving network equipment in. That dust gets everywhere...
Yeah that's the first thing I was thinking, why the hell are they moving equipment into a room that's still undergoing construction
Servers were moved on the last day, also due to the fact that import of our new inergen fire system took a long time it had to be install after the server room was finished
I understand what you're saying and what's happening, he was just asking because even the server cabinets would then have dust all over them. Good job, I think you did well with such a limited budget!
I think reading all of the comments was the best time I ever had on CZcams
The guy did a good job if you read all the comments you get the full story very epic
thank you
Just subscribed hope you make more video like this one. I think your great
You got a lot of people talking and that's awesome!!!!!
I want to make a video of the server just need to find the time thanks for subscribing
Well all this server only for minecraft?
nothing to do with minecraft my friend
Spiro Kala lol calm down a bit bud it’s a joke
yeap kind knew he was pulling my leg lol
@@fA-zj1ng he said my friend
Meus parabéns trabalho com tecnologia sei como foi difícil e divertido trabalhar neste projeto ficou ótimo o trabalho
Reading the comments and thinking, people in the internet are very weird. Thanks for the video, I also work with IT and I thought that the job was very good.
Thank you Regis for you comments. We tired to do the best we could. Wish i had more of a budget to get more things I need. But that is life you never have an unlimited budget in IT
Why didn’t you remove the window frames and bookcase before installing the drywall? What did you do on the exterior to cover those windows?
We didnt remove it as we didnt know in the future were will be. For the windows we used film (not sure what it is called) its for heat and cold.
0:32 when the Maccas guy asks you “d’ya want fries with that?”.
Im the maccas guy
πολυ καλη δουλεια με το timelapse 😉 (very good job with the timelapse)

May I know please, how many users can this server cater to? Please help me. I just need to know roughly what is the number of user can it support
That really depends on what you use the server for. On our system we have 10 VM which support around 60+ users. The capacity is for a much large amount.
The one thing I see which is a major drawback for this room's use as a server room is the sprinkler system. You don't want water near your network equipment. Other than that nice work. I have to agree that finishing the dry wall stuff before moving equipment in would have been better, but some times you have no other choice. Thank you for the video :-)
Yes the sprinkler system is gone and we have added a clean agent fire suppression system and also would like to note that the equipment was moved in the last day only the empty rack was there when the drywall was done. Im going to do a follow up video to explain some things.
@@SpiroKala where is the video then? More 3 months to made it? Jk dude, I recognize your work. A enjoyable piece of work when we put effort and organization on a project. Appreciate your work!
looks good. why a room with Windows. should it not be a central room to reduce cable length.
Hi, will you please tell me what kind of internet connection is required build such server room. I means is there any speed requirement for that internet speed.
No there is not. In this server room we have 4 internet connection.
What's speed they have?
Blue shirt guy and big cable guy worked the hardest
He was the one working for free!
holy crap they made it look good
thank you
Spiro Kala Is that a Siemens Hipath 3700 PBX at the bottom of your rack?
Norbert Fischer if i remember its tge 3000 but damn you have good eye sight
mhm, 3000 would be the model line and this one here is a 3700... we still have a few running at our customers and they are pretty reliable but after 12+ years and the "all ip"-trend growing we had to replace them with innovaphone PBXs. May i ask how many extensions are connected? Very nice video btw...
There are about 40 extentions and 10 external lines
hahaha this is the best thing ever
Is that an UPS on the left or some kind of mainframe?
Yes its a 10kva ups
Why the comments are complaining about it takes so much time, 3 months Is not much time and Is a complete and long process and for all the work, the room, cleanning, assembly, wiring its fine 3 months, no?
Correct people dont understand that we only worked on weekends
God bless the fredo espresso! Mpravo paidia.

I wished so hard the directors of the company I work at understood the importance of an Equipment room. Our server rack is literally inside a 1.5m x 1.5m janitor closet, near cleaning supplies. We leave the rack open at its side, as the front door won't have space to open.
Hello Luam. Yes I know exactly how you feel. IT budget is always the lowest and also the first person they look at when there is an issue. Sometimes you need to show them ;) that when things go wrong what is your down time. I would suggest a power point presentation on what happens when you lose IT infrastructure and present it. Make sure the worst case scenario is there.
Wow must be satisfying to be able to do a build like this from scratch. It's rare that you can do that, as typically you have some kind of mess that you have to fix without actually being able to bring it offline. I want to redo my home server room some day, there's some things I could do better, like moving the batteries in a separate room so they are easier to maintain.
Yes i was lucky to have to start from scratch much better that way and also i had the go for my design
Nice job... Nice music.
Thank you Carlos
Joking great job dude
Thank you
Great work! #PanduitProud
Interesting video!
Thank you
What did you use the server room for? Great vid.
Server is were all our company servers are located at.
what are these servers used for? just wondering.
Its ours companys server room for all our servers
@@SpiroKala ok but what does your company do?
Good job 👏 guys
Thank you dude
Star of the video: the paper towel roll ^^

Thank you very much for not using some electronic music over this
Yeah i think the music fitted perfectly
good work friend
What you using it for?
You made that man do ssssooo many punch-downs. hahahaha
Poor guy in the pink shirt he did all the work
He is fine.
Wait so at 0:47 why do the windows have to be removed & replaced? Giving me the Windowless Building/33 Thomas Street vibes.
Dont want people to see what is in there. Also it will help with insulation
1 second in this video = 3 Hours in real life
A lot of hours of sitting around.
what server machine and software can i use to run multiple virtual
machine for the video editing, file sharing, video streaming, and data
storage?
Well the best in my opinion is VMWare but you can also do it with virtual box but you will need a lot of core and memory for it to run. Not sure if it is the best for video editing as you need a good graphics card for that.
@@SpiroKala i found a system with 69gb ram, 16 cores run at 2.6ghz, also over 200 gb ssd with a 1tb hard drive oh and a NVIDIA Quadro 600. This is house in a HP Z620 Workstation running Windows 7 Professional but others say that i can download window 10 pro for free and use that cause window 10 pro comes with virtual ware. how that sound.
Hi, it's a peaceful video to watch, well done. Why you have a big and beatifull serveroom like this? you are professional video editor or something like this?
no not a pro just implemented a server and time lapsed it
Hi, can you please share with us what type of company you are working for?

He probably said he he could have done it in 2 days 😂
yeah probably @@lowvoltagedude7837
good job guys and good video clip
thank you
Sooooo good
What a peaceful video to watch, but dud, 3 months is too long for this.
I doubled the speed of the video and watched it in 5 Minutes 😎
Cool. Does it look better?
Nice video and nice room.
Why did you cover up the windows?
What is your IP address at your WAN-Port ?
Why would you want me ip address.....
Yeah...
@@SpiroKala lol he wants to visit your 127.0.0.1
cool man. do you mind to share the specs of the room for your server room?
Basically running a cluster servers dell with VMWare. Also a linux firewall and a backup server.

what camera did you use?
Gopro hero 5
Haha your like, one poxy rack for a UPS that size, you’re then waiting for the rest of the kit and then suddenly two more racks appear, ah there it is lol! Nice work. You can understand why the windows were blocked off but it really makes it a dull room.
Due to the fact that its on the 6th floor there is a lot of heat generated by the sun, so blocking the windows does make a lot of difference and helps the air con work much better.
what's the name of the song :(
I feel bad for whoever had to splice all those cables XD
As long as you label them right and dress them really good it's really not that bad.
Well the organizational portion yes, I think he was referring to how tedious the process is of splicing and crimping several thousand cables!
I would rather have the punching rj45 job so you could just sit all day :)
RJ45 is a type of end/connector... you use a punch down on the back side of the patch panel
The cables we made were for the telephone system the network we used CAT6 patch cords
Ну как там можно всякий хлам хранить в серверной?
at the end, there like YESSSSSS now we can lie to the people hahahaha.
really? lie to you about what?
Could someone about to learn electrical engineering do this or does it have to be networking?
i think you can do it as a mechanical engineer, connecting cables to plug and patch panels is something you can do, networking is more of setting up switches, router etc.
Oh ok. Thanks.
big big big like for your
what do you use it for?
Company
I was wondering what this server room was for? I'm guessing a hospital or something. Cool video!!!!!
Its for a small company
0:31 hi
I'm pretty sure I went through almost every single comment here. I'm so intrigued by this haha
I feel the same way it a gold mine
How about cost..how many u spend to make this room????
The total cost came out to around 30000 euro this also included upgrade of IT systems
@@SpiroKala .........wou....that serve for what.......
Is the server for a private person or a company?
It's for a company
Now even I wanna participate
nice
very good what is the name of the company that did the job. I'm from Brazil and I need to get some work done for us.
i seriously doubt they will come to Brazil!!!
@@SpiroKala Okay, is it possible to know your company in the US?
I am not in the US so i really cant help you... Sorry
thank you
Great vid..
What steps have been taken in making this ? i want to learn. thanks
If you want we can chat and you can ask as the steps are a lot
thank you sir, how can i contact you.

Why the old computers on the shelf?
I dont have storage for them as soon as I do they will move
Somebody know their camera model please

Why not have server built in high rise and brickwall building instead in a house where natural disaster often strike without warning?
In Greece all buildings are build to with stand earthquakes besides that natural disasters are not that common in the city + this is not a house its an office
All this for just 3 racks?
Might have been better going with a data center.
Looks great however.
I prefer to manage my own servers and have my own server room
Better clean those vents again after allowing that old guy to smoke.
0:32 , play video at 0.25 speed then pause the video and just click on above time stamp :)
That s me

What are the specs of those servers?
there are different kinds. the plan is to move all our physical servers to our vm server (which will add another for redundancy. so in the future we will have only 2 racks
They've blocked off the windows AND doors! How are they going to get out???

*Sir I Want to learn about server, which course should I do?*
Depends on what exactly you want to do with the servers. Designing the server room, building the server room, maintaining the server hardware, maintaining the software. A server is only a tool, not a business goal.
0:31 SUPRISE!!!!
I want a server room like this. I am planning to build a server, but it will be much smaller than this. :(
Size dosent matter selecting the right equipment is the goal. Always think ahead because a small company might grow and you need to adapt without changing all your systems every time. Select equipment you can upgrade.
Spec please
