New storage and application server hardware deployed

Yesterday we deployed 4 new application servers, 2 new storage servers and another switch to increase the capacity of our virtual machine cluster in our computing center in Oberhausen. The storage servers now feature 8 SAS 15k  600 GB disks in RAID 5 which should give a good performance boost over the previous SATA-based setup.


Here's pictures of thew newly deployed hardware. Note the neatly arranged cabling!
