Great to see we still have sys admins doing on premises. Being brought up in IT on premises, I think it's still important to understand how all of this is abstracted away when on cloud. Great job!
Good Day brother! Grace & Peace to you! Thanks for a great tour of the mighty data center!! I love data center tours! It's like looking at tall rectangular Christmas trees!😆 I really enjoy it when you take us on equipment tours👍🏽 And speaking of the PAX system, can you please send a prayer up for a clean MRI that I have to get done on me today! Been goin through a rough patch and I'm praying for the best. I'd really appreciate it😊 But you have a very clean and organized data center and the wiring is great and you do a great job at making things run smooth. You have a great team with your boss, whom you always speak highly of and Sateesh, I'm probably butchering his name, forgive me, but he sounds like a great co-worker as well. Well brother, again thanks for another great video and as usual be well, be safe and Peace & blessings to you
Been praying for your MRI scans to come up the way you are hoping they will. And Sathish has moved on to greener pastures. He now has a job at Hilmar Cheese which he is loving. This is the same company my boss came from. So keeping it all in the family I guess. I'm by my lonesome again. God bless!
That is crazy. As soon as I saw those Rubrik's it made me wonder if my company manages them for you. I literally spend my entire day dealing with Rubrik issues for all the customers.
grief that was unexpected and really cool! one (silly) question, wheres the NACM? (network attached coffee machine!) 😂 i dont think id be good at describing the whole place like you did! i think id be like, heres the racks, there are loads of boxes with pretty flashie lights that do stuff, loads of cables, and even more cables! done! 😂 brilliant vid tho 😊
Let's see, what does the guy in the next cubicle call me? The keeper of the blinky lights. Yes, I shepherd the LEDs around our network. The coffee machine is on it's on private firewalled network locked in a special vault. Too important to leave on the general network. God bless!
Interesting video! I would be interested to hear more about how your east / west setup is configured. You show an east / west palo, is this managing firewall rules between a subset of VLANs? Presumably with your L3 routing on the core switch most VLANs are managed there with ACLs to control inter VLAN traffic? Thanks!
The east/west or segmentation firewall as we call it routes traffic between our core's VRF's. It's primarily designed to protect the server and IOT VRF. So traffic goes to the core, then the segmentation firewall, and then either gets routed back to the core or on to the edge firewall depending on destination. The core knows all the internal routes, the edge knows all the WAN and external routes. Hope that clears it up. God bless!
Either that microphone has REALLY good noise canceling, or that's the quietest DC I've ever (not) heard in my life. Our computer room with 2 cabinets sounds like you're standing on the tarmac at Ohare...
Also, I'm sure you pray for our Country, as I do, can you throw an extra on in for me to help our Country (and my children) prosper? I watched all the way through this video Sir.
This is a nice setup. I'm actually doing an analysis now of costs, timelines and realistic feasibility of moving to a colocation facility. We have our DR at at colocation facility with a 10 gig metro-ethernet ring to it, and they have a sister colocation facility we could also add to that ring. I think were all just getting tired of being HVAC, UPS, Generator, and facilities techs. We might leave that to the pros so we can focus on connecting to our servers in a leased rackspace thats close enough we can drive to either facility, but in a hardened facility alongside a lot of big name friends in Healthcare, Finance and Big Pharma who all have a stake in the game to keep those colocation facilities fortified and running. Just means we may get some new Extreme core switches for a colo, and palo alto fw's, and get on our ring network and slowly migrate things over. Whats tough is I don't think a Layer2 span over that distance is a good idea, so I think we'll have to failover to our other site and then move everything in a weekend and get the entire server VLAN moved to the colo.
We actually have a DR location down at the county building data center (we are owned by the county). We also have XiLeap (which I really don't know anything about) which as I understand it keeps copies of our critical servers idling up in the cloud somewhere. God bless!
@@NetworkAdminLife Ah ok from looking it up it seems its a Nutanix offering. We are a vmware shop. Its always a blessing to see my notification bell lit up with a friendly reply from you. Its very nice watching your content and same to you, God Bless!
Sir I watch every video of you your videos are very beautiful I like very much I want to go to you I will work there sir plz help mr. Sir you give me a work visa
8:57 rack #1 is actually very exciting! I'm looking into networking as a career and your videos are so insightful. One big question I am worried about is capacity for cloud to disrupt the networking industry and drive down future opportunity. I am thinking of starting my CCNA but some friends are pushing me to work towards cloud engineering instead due to higher pay/more opportunity for growth. Looking forward to binging your channel. Thank you & God Bless you!
there is still going to be a need for networking, even if the all the servers are in the cloud, you are still going to need to know about layer 2 and 3 and firewalls, have a backbone, and it's all going to have to be documented. there are still going to be one or more internet gateways, WiFi access, etc. you are still going to need access control and security on the network. some services are still going to be local, where the physical location of a server is, really doesn't matter. but I really can't see everyone going to cloud based computing either. as you really don't control the service or the data on there. cloud computing just means you need more backups and more frequent backups on different hosts and platforms so if one turns off, like going bankrupt, etc, you maintain data integrity.
I don't know much about cloud architecture except at a very basic level. I think cloud networking has a future as well as any kind of network security job. Pick a path and commit. You'll do fine. God bless!
i was working at a cultivation facility until the i.t. guy told the boss i was clocking in and out remotely. they fired me with a vague explanation and no evidence of what i did. i been there for 8 years and was blindsided
Thanks you this is a Great video Sir 💞 Please i have a question I am a fresh electronic and communication engineering graduate I have already finished the CCNA and the MCSA and I am planning to do the CCNP as my next step Please i would like to know your opinion am I already on the right way And should I start try to get a job or should I wait until I finish the CCNP Thank you sir 🙏🙏
No need to delay. If you see a job you like, apply for it and just let them know you are still pursuing your CCNP and any other certifications. You'll never be completely ready, but as long as you can dig, and research, and find answers, then you are as ready as you need to be; Google is your friend. Best of luck and God bless!
Excellent 🌹🌹 I had a question, is the operating system of the servers Windows Server or Linux? I am very interested in learning about Cisco, but I am not interested in Windows Server
They are primarily Windows. We have a few specialized Linux servers that are associated with network authentication. And of course, all of our switches run their OS on top of Linux. God bless!
@@NetworkAdminLife Many sources suggest Linux is more widely used than Windows Server in the server market. Does this mean I should focus on learning Linux for the job market, or is Windows Server knowledge still valuable? Additionally, are your capabilities more specialized in Windows Server, Linux, or Cisco technologies?
Probably depends on the country you will be working in. Here in the USA, Windows is the predominant OS. At least, at every employer I've been with for the last 30 years or so. God bless!
If you have the requisite education and experience then you can get by without a cert. However, without the experience a certification is the only way an employer will know that you have a basic minimum knowledge on the subject. With time and experience they become less needed. I currently have no certifications. I do have 35 years of work experience though. Best of luck and God bless!
So... don't feed gremlins after midnight. Not even the ones running the lil electro-angels nuts at night, even to distract the lil electro devils? Kay....
We're heavily siloed here. A load balancer would come under the purview of the server team. I have no access in to their devices nor do they have access into my switches and firewalls. Why is that odd? God bless
