This afternoon I moved the server to a new datacenter. The site was offline for around an hour. The hosting company was moving all their servers to the brand new datacenter, and the dnbbe one had to move today.

I took some pics Big Grin

First off some pics of the old data center, notice that the racks are very close to eachother, which makes working very uncomfortable.

The server sitting in the rack in the old datacenter. A lot of the servers were already removed from the rack, which explains the gaps between the servers. Also note the mounting system: the server is attached to rails, you can slide it out to work on it, no need to take it out of the rack.

Some pics of the new datacenter. It's really new lol they were still finishing off the building. The security is done with fingerprint scanners, and it really works, they took a sample of my index finger and when I tried my middle finger I couldn't open the door Tongue

Everything inside is still spanking new, looks a bit like space oddysey Big Grin
