The agder mobility lab server farms (?!)

Server farms (?). well, not really. But we are on our way! We started off with a Dell 4210 (42U) rack cabinet (we are now very attached to rack as we personally carried and assembled it!) and mounted a few servers. A couple of Dell power edge sc1435 servers will be sitting beside not-so-good looking self assembled (yes, by us!) 2U and 3U servers. The plan is to build a extensive network environment including gateway/firewall, openIMS testbed, AAA server, file server, Asterisk testbed etc etc. The wiring looks a bit unprofessional now, but works nonetheless. Once the initial setup had been done, the tower will be moved to a server room near by, contrary to our initial plan of setting it up in the lab (a bit too noisy). More to come as we get cracking on the hapless servers...
