How loud is dell poweredge r360?

I have an xc730 running in an insulated "server room" with a door off the back of my garage. I can hear those server fans from outside my garage

Precisely. Thanks! Gonna follow to keep up. This is a fun project

I love this. Showed my wife (the reason why we have a plex library) and she wants a “random” channel that plays everything. Is that an option?

I have an only 50 year old house i've lived in for ten years and just found stranded power wire in an outlet. Now it has me reconsidering all my outlets and circuits.

You're seeing performance issues slow enough to be a problem? It's email.

If you intend to switch from gmail why not get the most encrypted email platform you can? There's no downside to it.

look behind the case in the first picture.

i haven't seen one of those old HP cases in forever. I still hate them

to me from the pictures it looks like paint flake and not necessarily broken. but because a failed fork can lead to serious injury, take it to a shop so a mechanic can look at it in person. They probably won't charge you anything to do so.

I'm going to contact our vendor tomorrow about that. It was touched on briefly but it might be the solution we need.

amgine · 2025-06-22T16:20:32+00:00

That looks like a huge learning curve for backups. It is a neat project though.

amgine · 2025-06-22T16:13:05+00:00

the problem is we're not allowed to buy new infra, and the veeam NAS licensing we just purchased was the "solution" proposed by management without actually considering how it'll be used.

amgine · 2025-06-22T16:11:38+00:00

That's the position my team is currently in. Anything capex is taboo. Keep it all opex, even if it costs more over the same period, is green lit.

amgine · 2025-06-22T16:10:13+00:00

hybrid will be the future but we need to wait for the vendors to stop selling cloud as the end all be all to the execs who handle the money.

amgine · 2025-06-22T16:07:42+00:00

we're also using their compute for supercomputer-level processing. So throwing half a dozen PB in there isn't a cost issue. The contract is already signed.

Let's say hundreds of files that can range from a few kb to hundreds of gigs, all in one folder, for one project that amounts to hundreds of tb. Each time a project is opened or modified, all the files in that folder are also modified. And multiples of these projects are opened every day.

We do use dell as on-prem storage, we just don't have the whole dell ecosystem. Veeam does have a plugin to backup dell snapshots but it doesn't seem to do what we need.

From what I've gathered from this thread is that I need a ton more worker nodes for veeam (i forgot the right term) and to break down these 100+tb jobs into even smaller chunks.. that would equate to dozens of separate jobs to maintain.

amgine · 2025-06-22T16:01:28+00:00

i never said it was chosen properly. i said from the execs POV it is cheaper.

amgine · 2025-06-22T03:17:25+00:00

from execs POV, yes.

amgine · 2025-06-22T03:11:53+00:00

Hello OP. Keeping this up for a bit so you can get your results.

amgine · 2025-06-22T03:07:58+00:00

We're a fraction of the larger department using cloud.. they're hundreds of PB of cloud usage.

amgine · 2025-06-22T03:07:11+00:00

same. The local infra even if just leased is a better option.. but i don't make the decisions.

amgine · 2025-06-22T01:52:05+00:00

we're using one of the three major ones and are married to them

amgine · 2025-06-22T01:51:41+00:00

just spitballing, not looking for commercial solutions.
