NTG lab - blazing server
-
Last week Scott set up a new Windows Server 2012 R2 server for me so I could test out some WDS stuff. That thing is blazing. The first thing I noticed was that there was no lag even though the datacenter is in California and I'm in NY. I pinged google in <1ms. I wondered if google was across the street or something so I did a tracert and hit it in 8 hops.
When it came to adding the WDS role, it was weird. I'm used to clicking next and having some time to read a few emails while the progress bar chugs across the screen. I hit next and the bar shot across and was done.
@scottalanmiller can you share some of the details about what we're running on?

Wonder its the fancy Scale equipment.
-
Yup, that's the Scale HC3 2100 / 2150 hybrid cluster hosted at Colocation America. So it is a combination of the two that really makes things fast. It's amazing how well it works even from across the country.

You can join in on the lab and play for $10/month if you would like. Lots of fun to be had by all!
-
What tools are you guys going to use to monitor that fancy lab environment?
-
I talked to a couple of the Colocation America employees at MangoCon. They are pretty much across the street from Google.

Can we pay that to get access to try to hack I to others labs there? That's lab usage to me
