Triple cabinet order for El Camino College
This is so far the largest order of the year. RP8420 server with 16 processors and 32GB of ram, a massive 400 tape Fibre Channel Quantum LTO storage library, a 48 port 4GB fiber channel switch, and then the fastest disk array Engenio (aka LSI) makes.
There were three trays of 500GB SATA drives, at least two trays of Fibre Channel 15k 73GB drives, and then three more trays of FC 15k 146GB drives. They did this config because each tray will be serving a different purpose.
Additionally we rented them a cabinet with three 1.7Kw PowerTrust UPSes. That cabinet weighed over half a ton.
The raid was a nightmare thanks to a failed raid controller, and LSI sending us the wrong replacement twice!
