1
00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:06,960
so we have learned a lot much of it by trial and error over the last couple of

2
00:00:04,880 --> 00:00:12,599
years about the better management of the Computing resources we have on hand

3
00:00:09,280 --> 00:00:15,480
we've explored different video encoding

4
00:00:12,599 --> 00:00:21,439
software Solutions we've looked at CPU encoding versus GPU encoding AMD versus

5
00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:24,840
NVIDIA for GPU encoding and we even lost

6
00:00:21,439 --> 00:00:28,800
almost all of our data in this video

7
00:00:24,840 --> 00:00:31,960
here when wanx server lost a raid card

8
00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:35,360
so we are finally ready to take our

9
00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:37,640
edication by fire on the road and the

10
00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:44,280
first stop is going to be our buddies at nerd Fusion down in Seattle where we

11
00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:48,150
will be dropping off this storinator

12
00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:51,220
server so let's get going then shall

13
00:00:55,960 --> 00:01:01,359
we tunnel bear is the simple VPN app

14
00:00:59,079 --> 00:01:05,439
that makes it easy to browse privately and enjoy a more open internet to try

15
00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:09,759
tunnel bear for free check out the link in the video

16
00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:11,320
description so we're here now this

17
00:01:09,759 --> 00:01:16,840
actually isn't the first trip that's been made on account of this project

18
00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:18,880
Matt seus zagurski from nerd Fusion

19
00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:23,840
actually made his way up to the Frozen North about a month ago to do a tag team

20
00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:32,759
build of the final config a pair of Intel Zeon E5 2697 V3 14 core processors

21
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:37,520
so that's 20 8 Haswell cores

22
00:01:32,759 --> 00:01:41,000
total 128 gigs of ddr4 ECC quad Channel

23
00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:43,240
memory a super micro X10 Dr T dual

24
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:49,399
socket motherboard with 10 GB networking on board and I'll explain why that's

25
00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:52,880
important a little bit further on and

26
00:01:49,399 --> 00:01:55,439
100 boy this thing is heavy 100

27
00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:59,560
terabytes worth of Seagate Enterprise storage with available expansion base

28
00:01:57,360 --> 00:02:04,680
for up to a few hundred terabytes more with new 10 TB helium drives thanks to

29
00:02:02,479 --> 00:02:10,440
this awesome storinator that our friends over at 45 drives whipped up for us can

30
00:02:08,039 --> 00:02:15,360
you guys actually help me with this thanks Matt so this is actually a

31
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:20,800
customized version of their new storinator so it's got an extended ATX

32
00:02:18,959 --> 00:02:26,280
compartment instead of ATX thanks for holding that for me champ as well as

33
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:28,840
their new switch to 92 mm fans in the

34
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:33,280
front to make room for this LCD panel that lets you more easily diagnose

35
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:36,400
failed drives the last big change is the fact that the front panel can be

36
00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:40,879
entirely toolless well it's okay toolless but screwdriver lless if you

37
00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:46,920
don't screw that in and all the drives can be installed and removed without any

38
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:49,200
of that fancy bar holding down you know

39
00:02:46,920 --> 00:02:54,360
top plates thing it's all just like a friction mount now uh we should get this

40
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:58,159
thing inside we should but if you guys find yourselves asking yourselves well

41
00:02:56,599 --> 00:03:03,400
what would a bunch of twitch streamers need with some kind of like uber Mega

42
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:05,599
server you're probably not the only ones

43
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:09,519
so I'm going to use this opportunity where we're hand delivering the server

44
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:12,720
to walk through all of the different functions that this server is going to

45
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:17,440
be performing here at the nerd Fusion headquarters thanks to the magic of

46
00:03:14,959 --> 00:03:22,440
unraid yes of course unrated is making another appearance in Linus's server

47
00:03:19,640 --> 00:03:28,080
video surprise surprise so first and

48
00:03:24,959 --> 00:03:30,480
foremost is the storage of archived

49
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:36,959
twitch streams as some of you probably know twitch only allows even Partners to

50
00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:39,439
store their streams for about 60 days on

51
00:03:36,959 --> 00:03:44,680
the service before it is deleted permanently so this at 100 terabytes

52
00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:47,920
will be by far the largest storage server that they have in the building

53
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:53,000
which shouldn't be that surprising giving the only other one that they have

54
00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:56,239
is there on that shelf and is awful and

55
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:59,799
will allow them to store about one year

56
00:03:56,239 --> 00:04:01,920
of archived footage for easy access to

57
00:03:59,799 --> 00:04:08,959
everyone who works here I got to figure out how to get out of

58
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:11,200
here yep that was easy gymnast so use

59
00:04:08,959 --> 00:04:15,560
case number two is really cool and far beyond what you'd be able to do with a

60
00:04:12,879 --> 00:04:19,199
typical Standalone NZ unit like we saw sitting in the closet they're going to

61
00:04:17,079 --> 00:04:22,800
fire up a Windows VM on the unraid server then they're going to load an

62
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:26,440
application called wowza that is going to enable them to do a couple of

63
00:04:24,199 --> 00:04:32,560
different things first of all they will be able to save a 12 megabit full 1080p

64
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:36,960
version of everything that they stream and because that's not really optimal

65
00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:43,160
for twitch they will be able to live transcode that incoming stream onto the

66
00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:45,800
server to 4 megabit 900p which is ideal

67
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:50,400
for twitch this has a couple of effects number one is it gives them better

68
00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:53,680
quality footage to work with for vods or if they want to bring up a past

69
00:04:51,639 --> 00:04:59,360
broadcast for whatever reason during a live broadcast and number two is with a

70
00:04:57,320 --> 00:05:05,039
little more magic within wowza it would actually enable them to have an off

71
00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:09,120
platform an off twitch higher bit rate stream available for some of their

72
00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:14,479
biggest supporters that's something that is not happening yet but could be

73
00:05:12,039 --> 00:05:19,120
possible with this setup use case number two and this is actually really cool

74
00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:24,520
involves a second VM this time Linux running a program called fog it's a free

75
00:05:21,919 --> 00:05:28,120
open-source cloning utility and the point of it is that we're actually

76
00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:32,120
standing in one of their guest streaming rooms so whether it's a remote employee

77
00:05:30,199 --> 00:05:36,919
who's in town for a while or someone coming in to do a a collab stream from

78
00:05:34,319 --> 00:05:42,440
the office here the point of it is to be able to take these guest streaming PCS

79
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:48,120
and quickly and easily back them up or restore them to a previous state so that

80
00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:52,440
you know Alex's passwords or applications or whatever else are wiped

81
00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:56,840
off this computer and it's ready to rock for the next person who needs to use it

82
00:05:54,720 --> 00:06:00,919
a second Linux VM is going to be set up as a dedicated Minecraft server just for

83
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:06,039
the guys here within the office now they already have one but it's hosted at ovh

84
00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:10,520
up in Canada which is a couple of problems number one is there's distance

85
00:06:08,280 --> 00:06:14,520
which means things can go wrong with the link between here and there number two

86
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:18,759
is that it costs money if they host it out of here for people playing locally

87
00:06:16,639 --> 00:06:22,960
then it doesn't cost any extra money other than this server that we're giving

88
00:06:20,280 --> 00:06:27,880
them anyway and number three is that having it here on site in a VM means

89
00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:32,639
that they can just allocate more CPU and GPU resource to it as as needed because

90
00:06:30,759 --> 00:06:38,759
as some of you will know Minecraft servers can be RAM and to a lesser

91
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:40,400
extent CPU Hogs and let's face it if

92
00:06:38,759 --> 00:06:43,360
your Minecraft server isn't performing properly you could be having a worse

93
00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:49,400
gaming experience than if you were trying to game without

94
00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:52,039
Doritos these aren't Doritos these are

95
00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:56,800
Tostitos they're stale so a third VM and we didn't really

96
00:06:54,720 --> 00:07:00,080
have anything to illustrate this because it'll be a year before they actually

97
00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:04,720
need one of these uh because that server is so huge so a

98
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:10,199
third VM is going to be responsible for taking the archived footage off of the

99
00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:14,840
hot storage and putting it into Cold Storage so they're actually going to be

100
00:07:11,599 --> 00:07:17,000
picking up an autoloading tape drive

101
00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:21,240
which will basically uh once footage reaches a certain age or the server

102
00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:26,440
reaches a certain amount of fullness it'll take any of the oldest footage

103
00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:28,960
dump it onto tape label it move it out

104
00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:33,720
of the way and insert a new tape into the tape drop

105
00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:35,440
Drive oh cool okay so the last thing

106
00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:40,680
they're going to be doing is replacing their current security system with like

107
00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:45,759
a 15 camera setup this will actually be a second Windows VM we're up to a total

108
00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:49,680
of five VMS that is going to enable them to do a couple of things so number one

109
00:07:47,919 --> 00:07:52,440
is running I think they were going to use something like ey spy or similar so

110
00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:57,919
they're going to be able to have all those cameras keeping an eye on the employees who are you know fooling

111
00:07:56,280 --> 00:08:03,199
around instead of working that's the idea right Matt yeah

112
00:07:59,960 --> 00:08:05,280
yep got it yep and second of all they've

113
00:08:03,199 --> 00:08:10,680
actually talked about experimenting at least maybe to try it once with having a

114
00:08:07,919 --> 00:08:15,479
fullon live stream of everything that's going on in the office a second use

115
00:08:13,759 --> 00:08:20,560
aside from the whole video encoding thing for the CPU power that our little

116
00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:25,159
server in the closet there brings to the table so I hope you guys enjoyed this

117
00:08:22,759 --> 00:08:30,159
little look at all the things our fancy little server is going to do and I guess

118
00:08:27,639 --> 00:08:35,000
uh sort of indirectly what actually goes into running a a Twitch streaming

119
00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:40,959
company something that I bet a lot of you did not even realize existed so let

120
00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:45,480
me know in the comments below if there are any other creators that you think

121
00:08:43,039 --> 00:08:49,399
would have use for even if it's just storage a server system like this and if

there right link to our community Forum which you should totally join now that

143
00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:20,000
you're done doing all that stuff you're probably wondering what to watch next don't miss the biggest lesson we learned

144
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:23,959
about server stuff when we lost all of our data temporarily but uh maybe I

145
00:10:22,519 --> 00:10:29,680
shouldn't have spoiled it whatever there's a lot of suspense and you can

146
00:10:25,560 --> 00:10:29,680
check that video out here
