WEBVTT

00:00:00.400 --> 00:00:08.320
do you guys have any idea what's in there we got fiber freaking networking

00:00:05.359 --> 00:00:13.280
25 gigabit per second the only problem is that we're gonna need a way faster

00:00:10.800 --> 00:00:17.520
not to mention bigger server in order for all of our editors to use it

00:00:15.280 --> 00:00:21.359
thankfully i didn't want to didn't want to slam

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

00:00:23.359 --> 00:00:31.119
hundred terabytes of pci express gen 4

00:00:27.119 --> 00:00:33.680
storage on a 100 gigabit per second

00:00:31.119 --> 00:00:38.399
fiber optic network connection today and it's going to be a blast like like

00:00:38.800 --> 00:00:44.640
save time and money with storyblocks storyblock gets you studio quality stock

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

00:00:46.000 --> 00:00:48.879
video description

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

00:00:59.840 --> 00:01:06.400
give you guys a quick tour of what liquid calls

00:01:04.000 --> 00:01:11.200
the badger den now liquid is a specialist in composable

00:01:08.960 --> 00:01:16.000
pci express infrastructure and high speed storage and this is about as high

00:01:13.920 --> 00:01:21.920
speed storage as it freaking gets in here we've got two

00:01:18.080 --> 00:01:25.360
64 core 128 thread AMD epic server

00:01:21.920 --> 00:01:28.479
processors one terabyte of 3200

00:01:25.360 --> 00:01:32.400
megahertz ecc registered memory and a

00:01:28.479 --> 00:01:35.119
whopping seven pci express gen 4

00:01:32.400 --> 00:01:40.560
expansion slots back here five of which are actually full height allowing us to

00:01:37.759 --> 00:01:45.200
hook up what liquid calls the honey badger and then do it four

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

00:01:48.000 --> 00:01:54.240
boards that are each capable of handling

00:01:51.040 --> 00:01:57.600
up to eight gen four m.2 drives for

00:01:54.240 --> 00:01:59.200
absolutely mind-blowing speeds man i

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

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

00:02:06.479 --> 00:02:12.319
assembling one of these but it's really important to show you guys how they go

00:02:10.000 --> 00:02:17.280
together because this right here in a storage server is obviously the key

00:02:15.280 --> 00:02:23.760
ingredient the storage severance sent over 32 of their 4

00:02:20.879 --> 00:02:27.920
terabyte rocket NVMe drives and we chose these ones specifically for a couple of

00:02:25.440 --> 00:02:32.800
reasons number one we could have gone with eight terabyte drives but those use

00:02:30.319 --> 00:02:36.959
qlc nand and in an application like a server even one that's going to be

00:02:34.560 --> 00:02:42.160
written to relatively frequently we don't want to use qlc that's going to

00:02:39.120 --> 00:02:45.440
wear out faster why we went gen 3 versus

00:02:42.160 --> 00:02:47.760
gen 4 is that a the gen 4 drives top out

00:02:45.440 --> 00:02:54.400
at just 2 terabytes per stick which would have our capacity and two

00:02:51.360 --> 00:02:56.879
i mean we can only hook up at most uh

00:02:54.400 --> 00:03:02.159
100 gigabit per second network card and then twin it for 200 gigabit per second

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

00:03:05.040 --> 00:03:12.239
not even funny so we'd rather have the extra capacity man this is crazy like

00:03:10.319 --> 00:03:19.120
thinking back to when i built our first company storage server we had one

00:03:14.959 --> 00:03:20.879
terabyte drives and they were

00:03:19.120 --> 00:03:26.560
no they were magnetic drives oh yeah that was it was almost nine years ago

00:03:22.800 --> 00:03:26.560
Jake yeah jeez it's like one of those

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

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

00:03:40.760 --> 00:03:46.720
128 terabytes of raw storage 128

00:03:45.440 --> 00:03:51.120
terabytes it's like a storage sandwich you know

00:03:49.040 --> 00:03:54.879
without networking though these are pointless because we'd have no way to

00:03:52.799 --> 00:04:03.120
access them that is where this comes in this is a

00:03:57.920 --> 00:04:06.799
connectx 6 100 gigabit per second

00:04:03.120 --> 00:04:09.680
network card with not one but two 100

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

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

00:04:20.320 --> 00:04:28.080
gigabytes a second or something like that it's flipping nuts 25 yeah and i

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

00:04:30.000 --> 00:04:36.080
here they're in the bottom you gotta you gotta dig dig them out you gotta

00:04:33.840 --> 00:04:41.040
excavate one of the sick things about AMD epic is that because it uses pci

00:04:38.720 --> 00:04:46.000
express gen four you can actually get the full capabilities out of a card like

00:04:43.120 --> 00:04:51.199
this if you were using pci express gen 3 your slot would not actually be fast

00:04:48.560 --> 00:04:56.800
enough to keep up with both of these ports being used fully at the same time

00:04:54.080 --> 00:05:00.400
freaking nuts right a pci express 16x slot

00:04:57.840 --> 00:05:03.360
that's for like graphics cards while we've got this opened up it's a

00:05:01.759 --> 00:05:06.560
good opportunity to show you guys how expansion can be handled a little

00:05:04.960 --> 00:05:11.120
differently in servers on your motherboard all the ports are built in

00:05:08.880 --> 00:05:15.759
on this one actually it's these interfaces back here that lead to all of

00:05:13.759 --> 00:05:20.479
the i o so this daughter board right here does two gigabit network ports this

00:05:18.400 --> 00:05:24.080
one right here does four but these could easily be swapped out for other ports if

00:05:22.880 --> 00:05:28.240
the customer wanted a different configuration and then this last one

00:05:25.919 --> 00:05:31.600
over here is what dell calls their idrac so this is our

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

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

00:05:38.880 --> 00:05:45.840
that's not your conventional pci express slot but it definitely carries the same

00:05:43.520 --> 00:05:50.400
signal so you can actually take ah yes this guy right here

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

00:05:54.880 --> 00:06:02.160
our storage cards storage excuse me network card and well

00:05:58.560 --> 00:06:02.160
one of them storage for our boot drive

00:06:03.600 --> 00:06:08.160
now we fill it with badgers

00:06:06.800 --> 00:06:12.160
we're actually not quite filling it we could put in one more badger but there

00:06:10.319 --> 00:06:17.840
was a limit to liquid and severance generosity

00:06:14.080 --> 00:06:19.600
the limit was 128 terabytes i was like

00:06:17.840 --> 00:06:24.720
okay okay got a little bit of stress here okay

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

00:06:27.120 --> 00:06:33.039
replace them we could just call dell you know yeah yeah they might sell some

00:06:30.960 --> 00:06:36.720
warranties though how about the warranty like if something goes wrong either with

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

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

00:06:41.919 --> 00:06:49.520
no connector what the hell is this look at how small

00:06:45.919 --> 00:06:51.759
the wires are too what the heck

00:06:49.520 --> 00:06:56.639
isn't that terrifying there it is

00:06:53.759 --> 00:07:00.880
theoretically that's it we're ready to roll this thing

00:06:58.960 --> 00:07:03.759
man this thing's heavy it's got a handle back here though so

00:07:02.160 --> 00:07:06.639
you can just like carry it right oh yeah yeah yeah don't worry

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

00:07:09.599 --> 00:07:14.400
i'm gonna need a hand so uh hey Jake

00:07:12.639 --> 00:07:18.720
you ready to roll this thing yeah i guess is this handle actually a

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

00:07:21.840 --> 00:07:27.440
i kind of want to try i mean i guess we should it's our

00:07:25.520 --> 00:07:31.520
responsibility oh just we're reviewing this chassis right all right okay go oh

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

00:07:32.960 --> 00:07:38.000
too heavy what's up else and geez check this out

00:07:36.720 --> 00:07:41.840
look at them pretend to work when we walk in look at that

00:07:39.919 --> 00:07:46.400
this is it we're actually doing it this time this

00:07:44.080 --> 00:07:51.199
is new new wanik it's not gonna have 20 terabytes it's

00:07:48.960 --> 00:07:55.440
not going to have 40 terabytes it's going to have 100 terabytes of storage

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

00:07:58.639 --> 00:08:04.960
have more storage though and and it'll be more reliable Jake promises

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

00:08:07.759 --> 00:08:11.160
fastest server

00:08:13.599 --> 00:08:20.080
imagine if he tripped now uh this is not his permanent home that's

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

00:08:21.599 --> 00:08:27.360
place of old wanik we never actually

00:08:24.639 --> 00:08:32.959
deployed new wanik because we continue to have problems with it so this is

00:08:29.840 --> 00:08:37.120
officially i am christening it new new

00:08:32.959 --> 00:08:38.240
wanik wada three new muanik wanik

00:08:37.120 --> 00:08:42.000
you know what new new one new new wanik see you later

00:08:40.800 --> 00:08:47.680
old wanik and you pneumonic yep you knew what

00:08:45.519 --> 00:08:53.120
that thing was we already created our storage space and this

00:08:50.160 --> 00:08:58.320
is it suckas and 104 flippin

00:08:55.440 --> 00:09:02.160
terabytes see it needs a minute here it's gotta check

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

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

00:09:07.600 --> 00:09:13.360
just single drive failure protection single

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

00:09:15.920 --> 00:09:23.279
server will be doing by the minute backups to another local server and then

00:09:21.120 --> 00:09:27.680
every probably hour or so it'll be backing up off-site

00:09:25.279 --> 00:09:31.839
so we're not really worried about like the drives failing bricking the data

00:09:29.839 --> 00:09:34.880
plus the rest ssds so like failures are a lot less common should be

00:09:34.000 --> 00:09:40.880
fine oh yeah there it is 100 gigabit holy

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

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

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

00:09:53.440 --> 00:10:00.000
that is not the point that's not the point it's a local network

00:09:57.600 --> 00:10:03.120
we can get these speeds to local machines

00:10:01.120 --> 00:10:06.880
also we have 10 gig internet so like we're gonna use a significant chunk of

00:10:04.560 --> 00:10:10.959
that so you know of course to transfer those kinds of speeds on the local

00:10:08.399 --> 00:10:15.680
network you need some sick transceivers so these are all of these

00:10:13.920 --> 00:10:20.480
server end transceivers that we're gonna be using these are 25 gigabit from

00:10:17.680 --> 00:10:25.279
fs.com massive shout out to those guys great compatibility great performance

00:10:23.120 --> 00:10:29.519
and did i mention the price so good freaking awesome so we're going

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

00:10:31.120 --> 00:10:37.279
and we're going to do a live test some problem ed zliago production

00:10:34.560 --> 00:10:41.920
manager for linusmediagroup.com um dennis can't seem to

00:10:39.440 --> 00:10:47.200
access lonnie interesting well hey

00:10:44.160 --> 00:10:49.600
good news we're replacing it right now

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

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

00:10:56.640 --> 00:11:02.560
10 minutes so it should never do anything like this i mean okay i don't

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

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

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

00:11:15.600 --> 00:11:22.240
i trust it so that's how this is gonna be new plan

00:11:19.920 --> 00:11:25.600
we're going back to our good friend cho easy coffee

00:11:24.160 --> 00:11:31.040
it's so good oh it sounds so stupid but it's it's one

00:11:28.640 --> 00:11:34.160
of the only multi-threaded just

00:11:31.839 --> 00:11:38.959
directory take all this stuff and dump it over there programs it's actually

00:11:36.800 --> 00:11:43.120
really robust and we're getting uh no you think me

00:11:41.120 --> 00:11:47.440
three gigabytes a second two to three gigabytes yeah so that's like 20 to 30

00:11:45.760 --> 00:11:52.480
gigabit which when you consider that we're plugged into a 40 gigabit network

00:11:49.360 --> 00:11:54.880
adapter on the old one excited

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

00:11:56.800 --> 00:12:03.519
being used right now yeah we could try more threads

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

00:12:05.519 --> 00:12:13.440
toasterific right there i mean we maxed out at 3.2 gigabytes a second

00:12:10.560 --> 00:12:17.839
2.4 gigs a second dang now that's hot

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

00:12:19.279 --> 00:12:25.120
gonna we're gonna interview him about the performance first yeah it's not bad

00:12:23.519 --> 00:12:28.320
okay so so what what happens in a multi-cam clip normally

00:12:26.800 --> 00:12:32.480
so usually what happens is i'll press play yeah and then i'll

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

00:12:34.959 --> 00:12:39.920
wait so we actually have a tangible workflow improvement i guess you could

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

00:12:41.680 --> 00:12:46.880
intention we thought we were just adding like more storage so this is

00:12:45.200 --> 00:12:50.160
improving latency is this a noticeable difference yeah it takes so

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

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

00:12:57.120 --> 00:13:01.680
was going to have like a very real world like tangible difference we were just

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

00:13:05.200 --> 00:13:11.760
also adding the capacity something that we know from past experience is that

00:13:09.200 --> 00:13:16.000
when you have uh like a latency spike in terms of storage access on your remote

00:13:13.680 --> 00:13:20.480
server it can cause not just one person's premiere to crash but like the

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

00:13:23.200 --> 00:13:29.920
latencies the better and that means both networking and storage have to be as

00:13:27.839 --> 00:13:34.800
fast as possible does it feel better yeah it's actually like i'm playing at

00:13:31.839 --> 00:13:38.160
half rise but everything actually feels really snappy

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

00:13:40.399 --> 00:13:45.920
from you but yeah this is actually stopping my jaw is

00:13:43.839 --> 00:13:50.079
like my mouth is like i know i can't see it i just like it

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

00:13:52.320 --> 00:13:57.680
for like an actual performance improvement i was just like well we'll

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

00:13:59.120 --> 00:14:04.320
that's great but hey it's even better yes

00:14:03.040 --> 00:14:09.279
you're not supposed to tell them that damn it well what

00:14:06.880 --> 00:14:12.320
any thoughts dennis i'm playing a full a new test

00:14:10.720 --> 00:14:16.959
okay but that's that's more of like a system bottleneck

00:14:14.639 --> 00:14:20.720
is this 8k or 12k brandon that's 8k okay

00:14:18.560 --> 00:14:25.839
is that 8k red or black magic black magic okay it's

00:14:23.120 --> 00:14:30.079
pretty good it is also it's a multicam uh sequence yeah why is yours handling

00:14:28.000 --> 00:14:33.360
it and poor mark system chugged mark's system always has sucked i don't know

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

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

00:14:39.600 --> 00:14:44.959
have multicam here

00:14:42.959 --> 00:14:49.440
and program and remember we've got everybody else

00:14:47.040 --> 00:14:54.320
hitting this same project at the same time this is on the new thing

00:14:52.000 --> 00:14:56.480
i can like go around damn

00:14:55.360 --> 00:15:01.360
bam bam this project is on the old one

00:14:59.680 --> 00:15:05.279
oh you've got it open on both servers right now what a pro

00:15:02.959 --> 00:15:08.880
oh you guys see look at that there you go

00:15:06.480 --> 00:15:13.440
oh wait it's just full wow okay hold

00:15:10.839 --> 00:15:16.560
on what okay

00:15:14.399 --> 00:15:21.040
that's huge gotta have that gen 4 baby because remember actually hoffman's only

00:15:18.880 --> 00:15:27.360
testing one aspect of the upgrade right now because both of those servers are

00:15:23.120 --> 00:15:28.880
running at 100 gig right now so

00:15:27.360 --> 00:15:32.959
that's actually just just the honey badger just that honey badger power

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

00:15:34.959 --> 00:15:42.480
right so good job everyone good job Jake good job editors keep at

00:15:39.279 --> 00:15:44.399
it socially distanced uh

00:15:42.480 --> 00:15:48.079
fist bump or whatever so all that's left is to thank everyone who helped with

00:15:45.600 --> 00:15:51.600
this project Jake the editing team for uh you guys can actually go back to

00:15:49.519 --> 00:15:56.160
whatever you want need to do now thank you very much guys uh of course liquid

00:15:54.560 --> 00:16:01.120
for providing the server and their honey badgers micron for sending over their

00:15:58.240 --> 00:16:05.920
memory fs.com for all the transceivers mellanox excuse me i mean NVIDIA for the

00:16:04.079 --> 00:16:10.560
high speed networking gear man those cards are so freaking sick and am i

00:16:09.040 --> 00:16:14.959
missing anyone and severant right for

00:16:12.880 --> 00:16:18.800

footage after effects templates motion backgrounds and more we use it quite a

00:16:37.600 --> 00:16:44.160
bit on techwiki and all the content is royalty free so you can use it for

00:16:41.839 --> 00:16:48.480
personal projects like youtube videos or commercial projects like well for us

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

00:16:57.600 --> 00:17:03.360
more in-depth look at both our high-speed networking as well as the

00:17:01.839 --> 00:17:07.839
high-speed storage with the honey badgers that we did with that server as

00:17:05.439 --> 00:17:11.919
a preview to this uh those were theoretical though i'm really glad that

00:17:09.839 --> 00:17:14.000
it's actually working once we deployed it

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

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
