Yes, Solar does help some, but only on sunny days. In the summer my solar (53 panels) produces about 15kw for most of the day, but in the winter most days peak at 3-5kw, and sometimes 0. In net Solar makes about 1/3 of the power that I use.. so it helps, but I would need another 100 panels to be grid independent.

10kW power draw?? Insane. At my local electricity rates you're spending (or losing from not exporting solar) over $100/day or $38,000/year on electricity alone.
I have a couple servers that draw 3.6kW each, I went 100% solar with battery backup. The good thing is I don't need those servers powered up all the time. Makes no sense to do so. All my machines have remote power management so I can power them up and down from afar.
I am currently a college student for Computer Networking, and this video is such a huge motivation for me to keep learning so I can have a dream lab like this.
This is absolutely and I love it. I work in IT infrastructure and none of my SMB customers have as many servers as you. The really big enterprise customers are a different story (4PB redundant object storage cluster anyone?), but my SMB customers basically all have 4-8 servers max.

Surescripts ? / Surescripts serves the nation through simpler, trusted health intelligence sharing, in order to increase patient safety, lower costs and ensure quality. Sounds pretty cool.
how much does it cost to build? give us a summary how u built it what company provided the server or did you built it your self? i have so much questions
Yeah but it’s gotta be a huge plex server. That many jbods it’s gotta be petabytes. Unless he’s using old ass low cap drives in there, but given the rest don’t think so.
Mostly corporate stuff. You can store. Maybe UA-cam video editing, maybe some corporate files etc. No one spends money for plex media servers because all the data is mostly considered p1r@cy. Trust me, your ISP will see your t0®®ents of 50+ gb per movie and impose speed cap or terminate your connection. Because it has legal consequences on their ISP licence. Typical homelab or self hoisted companies do need such equipment maybe to hoist their own websites, apps, GPU clusters, nas for employees for maybe sharing files for editing etc. As long as you earn from these, it's good. Earning $1 million a year and investing $1 million for equipment is not much because roi is just 1 year. Then profit profit minus the cost of maintenance and recurring investment like internet leased line, firewall subscription etc. Note: I do not recommended mining or p1r@cy of games/movies/tv shows etc. He surely uses his homelab to support and run his business.
This is the dream of every IT enthusiast :D I really like how this looks, especially the part where you monitor everything with Grafana on your monitor outside the room :D :)

@@TheCarmacon Shadow IT would be an understatement. This is a whole shadow enterprise IT department lol. Looks like multiple companies' technical infrastructure could run off of that one privately-owned corporate data center located in a guy's basement alone.
Homelab? You may have gone too far. My advice, get an infrastructure job like mine, where you occasionally go to data centers, do it for 30+ years, then you will no longer have an obsession with data centers, racks, etc, and you'll be satisfied with a powerful tower PC, and a few mini PCs. We have now migrated 1200 servers from ESX on-prem to Azure, so the office Comms room, in my office, is about the same as your homelab. When I think of your energy bill I come out in a cold sweat !
This is the best comment so far... I just showed this to my wife and told her if you see me ever building something like this kick me out of the house :D
Indeed - I did infrastructure.. built up data centers, BGP peering, lots of switching and routing, but that was in the late 90s as things were just starting to boom. I still enjoy this level of building perhaps because it is not my full time job. None the less I think any CTO should be able to not just talk architecture and strategy but also do and build.
