Reading this gave me PTSD flashbacks of sleeping on datacenter floors doing grueling build outs. I can (kind of) appreciate saving money by building these servers manually but the work is so terribly boring.
Plus, doesn't self building these boxes put the liability on the company rather than the manufacturer? If a server dies, you can't just rma it in this case, no? The ability to just box up and rma a server was something I loved as dcops.
- h2onock 7y agoWe (Mojeek) got our first batch of servers complete and it didn't work out so since then we have built them ourselves with the parts we want and that have been reliable for us. It's an exciting time for us so it wasn't boring, but ask again after the next few hundred and you might get a different answer.
