1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:08,320
do you guys have any idea what's in there we got fiber freaking networking

2
00:00:05,359 --> 00:00:13,280
25 gigabit per second the only problem is that we're gonna need a way faster

3
00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:17,520
not to mention bigger server in order for all of our editors to use it

4
00:00:15,280 --> 00:00:21,359
thankfully i didn't want to didn't want to slam

5
00:00:19,359 --> 00:00:27,119
these these are very expensive we've got just that we are going to be rolling a

6
00:00:23,359 --> 00:00:31,119
hundred terabytes of pci express gen 4

7
00:00:27,119 --> 00:00:33,680
storage on a 100 gigabit per second

8
00:00:31,119 --> 00:00:38,399
fiber optic network connection today and it's going to be a blast like like

9
00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:44,640
save time and money with storyblocks storyblock gets you studio quality stock

10
00:00:42,480 --> 00:00:48,879
video clips for a fraction of the price check it out today at the link in the

11
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:48,879
video description

12
00:00:55,920 --> 00:01:02,160
we'll be sliding this baby into our rack soon enough but before we do i want to

13
00:00:59,840 --> 00:01:06,400
give you guys a quick tour of what liquid calls

14
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:11,200
the badger den now liquid is a specialist in composable

15
00:01:08,960 --> 00:01:16,000
pci express infrastructure and high speed storage and this is about as high

16
00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:21,920
speed storage as it freaking gets in here we've got two

17
00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:25,360
64 core 128 thread AMD epic server

18
00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:28,479
processors one terabyte of 3200

19
00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:32,400
megahertz ecc registered memory and a

20
00:01:28,479 --> 00:01:35,119
whopping seven pci express gen 4

21
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:40,560
expansion slots back here five of which are actually full height allowing us to

22
00:01:37,759 --> 00:01:45,200
hook up what liquid calls the honey badger and then do it four

23
00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:51,040
more times that's right we can have a total of up to five of these carrier

24
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:54,240
boards that are each capable of handling

25
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:57,600
up to eight gen four m.2 drives for

26
00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:59,200
absolutely mind-blowing speeds man i

27
00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:05,200
feel like i'm on like a cooking show i got my mix and bowl i got my ingredients

28
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:08,319
over here i got my pre-made thing for at the end we're only going to be

29
00:02:06,479 --> 00:02:12,319
assembling one of these but it's really important to show you guys how they go

30
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:17,280
together because this right here in a storage server is obviously the key

31
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:23,760
ingredient the storage severance sent over 32 of their 4

32
00:02:20,879 --> 00:02:27,920
terabyte rocket NVMe drives and we chose these ones specifically for a couple of

33
00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:32,800
reasons number one we could have gone with eight terabyte drives but those use

34
00:02:30,319 --> 00:02:36,959
qlc nand and in an application like a server even one that's going to be

35
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:42,160
written to relatively frequently we don't want to use qlc that's going to

36
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:45,440
wear out faster why we went gen 3 versus

37
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:47,760
gen 4 is that a the gen 4 drives top out

38
00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:54,400
at just 2 terabytes per stick which would have our capacity and two

39
00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:56,879
i mean we can only hook up at most uh

40
00:02:54,400 --> 00:03:02,159
100 gigabit per second network card and then twin it for 200 gigabit per second

41
00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:06,720
even running gen 3 on these things we're gonna be so far beyond that that it's

42
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:12,239
not even funny so we'd rather have the extra capacity man this is crazy like

43
00:03:10,319 --> 00:03:19,120
thinking back to when i built our first company storage server we had one

44
00:03:14,959 --> 00:03:20,879
terabyte drives and they were

45
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:26,560
no they were magnetic drives oh yeah that was it was almost nine years ago

46
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:26,560
Jake yeah jeez it's like one of those

47
00:03:30,879 --> 00:03:37,280
this is our big old heat spreader for this puppy oh jeez just lay it down and

48
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:45,440
then i got just laid down oh jesus look at this this is a hundred and what

49
00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:46,720
128 terabytes of raw storage 128

50
00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:51,120
terabytes it's like a storage sandwich you know

51
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:54,879
without networking though these are pointless because we'd have no way to

52
00:03:52,799 --> 00:04:03,120
access them that is where this comes in this is a

53
00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:06,799
connectx 6 100 gigabit per second

54
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:09,680
network card with not one but two 100

55
00:04:06,799 --> 00:04:16,079
gigabit ports on it that's right a total of up to 20 gigabytes per second and i'm

56
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:22,000
rounding which doesn't work when the numbers get so big so it's like 24 25

57
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:28,080
gigabytes a second or something like that it's flipping nuts 25 yeah and i

58
00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:32,400
gotta bury it um because the half-height slots are way in the back of the thing

59
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:36,080
here they're in the bottom you gotta you gotta dig dig them out you gotta

60
00:04:33,840 --> 00:04:41,040
excavate one of the sick things about AMD epic is that because it uses pci

61
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:46,000
express gen four you can actually get the full capabilities out of a card like

62
00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:51,199
this if you were using pci express gen 3 your slot would not actually be fast

63
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:56,800
enough to keep up with both of these ports being used fully at the same time

64
00:04:54,080 --> 00:05:00,400
freaking nuts right a pci express 16x slot

65
00:04:57,840 --> 00:05:03,360
that's for like graphics cards while we've got this opened up it's a

66
00:05:01,759 --> 00:05:06,560
good opportunity to show you guys how expansion can be handled a little

67
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:11,120
differently in servers on your motherboard all the ports are built in

68
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:15,759
on this one actually it's these interfaces back here that lead to all of

69
00:05:13,759 --> 00:05:20,479
the i o so this daughter board right here does two gigabit network ports this

70
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:24,080
one right here does four but these could easily be swapped out for other ports if

71
00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:28,240
the customer wanted a different configuration and then this last one

72
00:05:25,919 --> 00:05:31,600
over here is what dell calls their idrac so this is our

73
00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:35,759
management port a usb 3 port and of course vga out so that you can hook it

74
00:05:33,919 --> 00:05:41,280
up to a display if you really want to and then back here look at these puppies

75
00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:45,840
that's not your conventional pci express slot but it definitely carries the same

76
00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:50,400
signal so you can actually take ah yes this guy right here

77
00:05:47,840 --> 00:05:54,400
and that is what wires up to these pci express 16x slots that we're using for

78
00:05:54,880 --> 00:06:02,160
our storage cards storage excuse me network card and well

79
00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:02,160
one of them storage for our boot drive

80
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:08,160
now we fill it with badgers

81
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:12,160
we're actually not quite filling it we could put in one more badger but there

82
00:06:10,319 --> 00:06:17,840
was a limit to liquid and severance generosity

83
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:19,600
the limit was 128 terabytes i was like

84
00:06:17,840 --> 00:06:24,720
okay okay got a little bit of stress here okay

85
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:29,280
got a little bit of stress if i break these i do not have uh an easy way to

86
00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:33,039
replace them we could just call dell you know yeah yeah they might sell some

87
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:36,720
warranties though how about the warranty like if something goes wrong either with

88
00:06:34,639 --> 00:06:40,479
the hardware or software well that went so well i think i'll do it again oh my

89
00:06:38,639 --> 00:06:43,600
god i see what they mean by the cables being fragile they're not even there's

90
00:06:41,919 --> 00:06:49,520
no connector what the hell is this look at how small

91
00:06:45,919 --> 00:06:51,759
the wires are too what the heck

92
00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:56,639
isn't that terrifying there it is

93
00:06:53,759 --> 00:07:00,880
theoretically that's it we're ready to roll this thing

94
00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:03,759
man this thing's heavy it's got a handle back here though so

95
00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:06,639
you can just like carry it right oh yeah yeah yeah don't worry

96
00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:12,639
something that doesn't have hard drives in it though it's like it's got some heft

97
00:07:09,599 --> 00:07:14,400
i'm gonna need a hand so uh hey Jake

98
00:07:12,639 --> 00:07:18,720
you ready to roll this thing yeah i guess is this handle actually a

99
00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:23,919
handle i think so i'm going for it i'm going to let go and you just carry it

100
00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:27,440
i kind of want to try i mean i guess we should it's our

101
00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:31,520
responsibility oh just we're reviewing this chassis right all right okay go oh

102
00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:34,080
what was that okay you gotta take you gotta take it you can't you can't it's

103
00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:38,000
too heavy what's up else and geez check this out

104
00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:41,840
look at them pretend to work when we walk in look at that

105
00:07:39,919 --> 00:07:46,400
this is it we're actually doing it this time this

106
00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:51,199
is new new wanik it's not gonna have 20 terabytes it's

107
00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:55,440
not going to have 40 terabytes it's going to have 100 terabytes of storage

108
00:07:53,840 --> 00:08:00,720
oh wow so we don't have to delete anything ever no that's not what i said it's gonna

109
00:07:58,639 --> 00:08:04,960
have more storage though and and it'll be more reliable Jake promises

110
00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:11,160
shake i was expecting them to be more excited hey david watch this it's the world's

111
00:08:07,759 --> 00:08:11,160
fastest server

112
00:08:13,599 --> 00:08:20,080
imagine if he tripped now uh this is not his permanent home that's

113
00:08:17,759 --> 00:08:24,639
why there's no actual rails in here we're actually going to put it here in

114
00:08:21,599 --> 00:08:27,360
place of old wanik we never actually

115
00:08:24,639 --> 00:08:32,959
deployed new wanik because we continue to have problems with it so this is

116
00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:37,120
officially i am christening it new new

117
00:08:32,959 --> 00:08:38,240
wanik wada three new muanik wanik

118
00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:42,000
you know what new new one new new wanik see you later

119
00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:47,680
old wanik and you pneumonic yep you knew what

120
00:08:45,519 --> 00:08:53,120
that thing was we already created our storage space and this

121
00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:58,320
is it suckas and 104 flippin

122
00:08:55,440 --> 00:09:02,160
terabytes see it needs a minute here it's gotta check

123
00:08:59,839 --> 00:09:05,600
how much capacity we got what's my free space i don't know there's so much do

124
00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:08,480
you tell them what kind of parody we're doing uh yeah right we're running uh

125
00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:13,360
just single drive failure protection single

126
00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:18,240
parity and the reason for that hold on hold on the reason for that is that this

127
00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:23,279
server will be doing by the minute backups to another local server and then

128
00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:27,680
every probably hour or so it'll be backing up off-site

129
00:09:25,279 --> 00:09:31,839
so we're not really worried about like the drives failing bricking the data

130
00:09:29,839 --> 00:09:34,880
plus the rest ssds so like failures are a lot less common should be

131
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:40,880
fine oh yeah there it is 100 gigabit holy

132
00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:44,000
wait is it gonna is it going to show is it going to show me a big number

133
00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:51,600
now a lot of people get confused when we show numbers like this they're like um

134
00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:55,519
you can't even get internet that fast oh my god i'm so tired of explaining it

135
00:09:53,440 --> 00:10:00,000
that is not the point that's not the point it's a local network

136
00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:03,120
we can get these speeds to local machines

137
00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:06,880
also we have 10 gig internet so like we're gonna use a significant chunk of

138
00:10:04,560 --> 00:10:10,959
that so you know of course to transfer those kinds of speeds on the local

139
00:10:08,399 --> 00:10:15,680
network you need some sick transceivers so these are all of these

140
00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:20,480
server end transceivers that we're gonna be using these are 25 gigabit from

141
00:10:17,680 --> 00:10:25,279
fs.com massive shout out to those guys great compatibility great performance

142
00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:29,519
and did i mention the price so good freaking awesome so we're going

143
00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:32,800
to plug in these ends then we're going to go hook up all the editing machines

144
00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:37,279
and we're going to do a live test some problem ed zliago production

145
00:10:34,560 --> 00:10:41,920
manager for linusmediagroup.com um dennis can't seem to

146
00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:47,200
access lonnie interesting well hey

147
00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:49,600
good news we're replacing it right now

148
00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:53,760
so is it going to work as well as uh old wanik used to work too it should

149
00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:58,800
work better than it ever used to work oh that's the plan okay so give me like

150
00:10:56,640 --> 00:11:02,560
10 minutes so it should never do anything like this i mean okay i don't

151
00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:07,519
know about you Jake is staking his reputation on it yeah i don't know if i wait

152
00:11:07,519 --> 00:11:13,440
why are you downloading beyond compare why don't you just use cho easy copy i'm

153
00:11:11,680 --> 00:11:18,160
not using cho easy copy so easy coffee's so good though i love beyond compare and

154
00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:22,240
i trust it so that's how this is gonna be new plan

155
00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:25,600
we're going back to our good friend cho easy coffee

156
00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:31,040
it's so good oh it sounds so stupid but it's it's one

157
00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:34,160
of the only multi-threaded just

158
00:11:31,839 --> 00:11:38,959
directory take all this stuff and dump it over there programs it's actually

159
00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:43,120
really robust and we're getting uh no you think me

160
00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:47,440
three gigabytes a second two to three gigabytes yeah so that's like 20 to 30

161
00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:52,480
gigabit which when you consider that we're plugged into a 40 gigabit network

162
00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:54,880
adapter on the old one excited

163
00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:59,519
is it 100 yeah but it's like either way yeah it's still on tfs and it's like

164
00:11:56,800 --> 00:12:03,519
being used right now yeah we could try more threads

165
00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:07,440
i think it's okay i'm looking at 16. yeah that looks pretty that looks pretty

166
00:12:05,519 --> 00:12:13,440
toasterific right there i mean we maxed out at 3.2 gigabytes a second

167
00:12:10,560 --> 00:12:17,839
2.4 gigs a second dang now that's hot

168
00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:20,959
it's acid test time and uh i actually like mark's initial comment so we're

169
00:12:19,279 --> 00:12:25,120
gonna we're gonna interview him about the performance first yeah it's not bad

170
00:12:23,519 --> 00:12:28,320
okay so so what what happens in a multi-cam clip normally

171
00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:32,480
so usually what happens is i'll press play yeah and then i'll

172
00:12:30,639 --> 00:12:36,639
stop and then it will keep going a couple of seconds and then it'll stop oh

173
00:12:34,959 --> 00:12:39,920
wait so we actually have a tangible workflow improvement i guess you could

174
00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:43,120
say that if you want to justify it wow that wasn't my actually wasn't my

175
00:12:41,680 --> 00:12:46,880
intention we thought we were just adding like more storage so this is

176
00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:50,160
improving latency is this a noticeable difference yeah it takes so

177
00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:54,639
nice no this isn't something that we had tested we knew the latency is better but

178
00:12:53,519 --> 00:12:58,959
like it's not something that we were like yes we know that this will work better yeah and we didn't know that it

179
00:12:57,120 --> 00:13:01,680
was going to have like a very real world like tangible difference we were just

180
00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:07,040
hoping it's sort of but we were sort of mostly hoping for improved stability and then

181
00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:11,760
also adding the capacity something that we know from past experience is that

182
00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:16,000
when you have uh like a latency spike in terms of storage access on your remote

183
00:13:13,680 --> 00:13:20,480
server it can cause not just one person's premiere to crash but like the

184
00:13:18,560 --> 00:13:25,760
entire editing den all at once will just go down so the tighter we can keep those

185
00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:29,920
latencies the better and that means both networking and storage have to be as

186
00:13:27,839 --> 00:13:34,800
fast as possible does it feel better yeah it's actually like i'm playing at

187
00:13:31,839 --> 00:13:38,160
half rise but everything actually feels really snappy

188
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:41,680
so like mark said normally when you play a multi-cam sequence it'll just run away

189
00:13:40,399 --> 00:13:45,920
from you but yeah this is actually stopping my jaw is

190
00:13:43,839 --> 00:13:50,079
like my mouth is like i know i can't see it i just like it

191
00:13:47,680 --> 00:13:53,839
but you can't tell i know i was like i was i i couldn't i wasn't even hoping

192
00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:57,680
for like an actual performance improvement i was just like well we'll

193
00:13:55,360 --> 00:14:00,959
just like show lots of people editing 8k at the same time and we'll be like yeah

194
00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:04,320
that's great but hey it's even better yes

195
00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:09,279
you're not supposed to tell them that damn it well what

196
00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:12,320
any thoughts dennis i'm playing a full a new test

197
00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:16,959
okay but that's that's more of like a system bottleneck

198
00:14:14,639 --> 00:14:20,720
is this 8k or 12k brandon that's 8k okay

199
00:14:18,560 --> 00:14:25,839
is that 8k red or black magic black magic okay it's

200
00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:30,079
pretty good it is also it's a multicam uh sequence yeah why is yours handling

201
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:33,360
it and poor mark system chugged mark's system always has sucked i don't know

202
00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:37,839
why it's only one window you don't have the actual multicam sequence ah okay oh

203
00:14:36,079 --> 00:14:40,399
yeah okay you want to do that let's see yeah quarter is actually pretty good i

204
00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:44,959
have multicam here

205
00:14:42,959 --> 00:14:49,440
and program and remember we've got everybody else

206
00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:54,320
hitting this same project at the same time this is on the new thing

207
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:56,480
i can like go around damn

208
00:14:55,360 --> 00:15:01,360
bam bam this project is on the old one

209
00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:05,279
oh you've got it open on both servers right now what a pro

210
00:15:02,959 --> 00:15:08,880
oh you guys see look at that there you go

211
00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:13,440
oh wait it's just full wow okay hold

212
00:15:10,839 --> 00:15:16,560
on what okay

213
00:15:14,399 --> 00:15:21,040
that's huge gotta have that gen 4 baby because remember actually hoffman's only

214
00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:27,360
testing one aspect of the upgrade right now because both of those servers are

215
00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:28,880
running at 100 gig right now so

216
00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:32,959
that's actually just just the honey badger just that honey badger power

217
00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:37,120
honey badger don't give a he said so many times this video it's great all

218
00:15:34,959 --> 00:15:42,480
right so good job everyone good job Jake good job editors keep at

219
00:15:39,279 --> 00:15:44,399
it socially distanced uh

220
00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:48,079
fist bump or whatever so all that's left is to thank everyone who helped with

221
00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:51,600
this project Jake the editing team for uh you guys can actually go back to

222
00:15:49,519 --> 00:15:56,160
whatever you want need to do now thank you very much guys uh of course liquid

223
00:15:54,560 --> 00:16:01,120
for providing the server and their honey badgers micron for sending over their

224
00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:05,920
memory fs.com for all the transceivers mellanox excuse me i mean NVIDIA for the

225
00:16:04,079 --> 00:16:10,560
high speed networking gear man those cards are so freaking sick and am i

226
00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:14,959
missing anyone and severant right for

227
00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:18,800
sending over all the drives 100 terabytes it's all fast

228
00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:23,519
and infinite cables thanks for the cables guys and right our sponsor for

in the video description if you guys enjoyed this video you might enjoy the

238
00:16:57,600 --> 00:17:03,360
more in-depth look at both our high-speed networking as well as the

239
00:17:01,839 --> 00:17:07,839
high-speed storage with the honey badgers that we did with that server as

240
00:17:05,439 --> 00:17:11,919
a preview to this uh those were theoretical though i'm really glad that

241
00:17:09,839 --> 00:17:14,000
it's actually working once we deployed it

242
00:17:14,559 --> 00:17:21,600
all i gotta say is nuwanik you mean nunu on it oh no no no no no

243
00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:26,959
yeah you want that thing new pneumonic that's where it's at 1 3 new new wanik

244
00:17:23,919 --> 00:17:26,959
