WEBVTT

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

00:00:04.880 --> 00:00:12.599
years about the better management of the Computing resources we have on hand

00:00:09.280 --> 00:00:15.480
we've explored different video encoding

00:00:12.599 --> 00:00:21.439
software Solutions we've looked at CPU encoding versus GPU encoding AMD versus

00:00:18.400 --> 00:00:24.840
NVIDIA for GPU encoding and we even lost

00:00:21.439 --> 00:00:28.800
almost all of our data in this video

00:00:24.840 --> 00:00:31.960
here when wanx server lost a raid card

00:00:28.800 --> 00:00:35.360
so we are finally ready to take our

00:00:31.960 --> 00:00:37.640
edication by fire on the road and the

00:00:35.360 --> 00:00:44.280
first stop is going to be our buddies at nerd Fusion down in Seattle where we

00:00:40.280 --> 00:00:48.150
will be dropping off this storinator

00:00:44.280 --> 00:00:51.220
server so let's get going then shall

00:00:55.960 --> 00:01:01.359
we tunnel bear is the simple VPN app

00:00:59.079 --> 00:01:05.439
that makes it easy to browse privately and enjoy a more open internet to try

00:01:03.680 --> 00:01:09.759
tunnel bear for free check out the link in the video

00:01:06.680 --> 00:01:11.320
description so we're here now this

00:01:09.759 --> 00:01:16.840
actually isn't the first trip that's been made on account of this project

00:01:13.400 --> 00:01:18.880
Matt seus zagurski from nerd Fusion

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

00:01:21.560 --> 00:01:32.759
build of the final config a pair of Intel Zeon E5 2697 V3 14 core processors

00:01:28.840 --> 00:01:37.520
so that's 20 8 Haswell cores

00:01:32.759 --> 00:01:41.000
total 128 gigs of ddr4 ECC quad Channel

00:01:37.520 --> 00:01:43.240
memory a super micro X10 Dr T dual

00:01:41.000 --> 00:01:49.399
socket motherboard with 10 GB networking on board and I'll explain why that's

00:01:45.520 --> 00:01:52.880
important a little bit further on and

00:01:49.399 --> 00:01:55.439
100 boy this thing is heavy 100

00:01:52.880 --> 00:01:59.560
terabytes worth of Seagate Enterprise storage with available expansion base

00:01:57.360 --> 00:02:04.680
for up to a few hundred terabytes more with new 10 TB helium drives thanks to

00:02:02.479 --> 00:02:10.440
this awesome storinator that our friends over at 45 drives whipped up for us can

00:02:08.039 --> 00:02:15.360
you guys actually help me with this thanks Matt so this is actually a

00:02:13.200 --> 00:02:20.800
customized version of their new storinator so it's got an extended ATX

00:02:18.959 --> 00:02:26.280
compartment instead of ATX thanks for holding that for me champ as well as

00:02:23.160 --> 00:02:28.840
their new switch to 92 mm fans in the

00:02:26.280 --> 00:02:33.280
front to make room for this LCD panel that lets you more easily diagnose

00:02:30.480 --> 00:02:36.400
failed drives the last big change is the fact that the front panel can be

00:02:34.760 --> 00:02:40.879
entirely toolless well it's okay toolless but screwdriver lless if you

00:02:38.480 --> 00:02:46.920
don't screw that in and all the drives can be installed and removed without any

00:02:43.040 --> 00:02:49.200
of that fancy bar holding down you know

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

00:02:51.480 --> 00:02:58.159
thing inside we should but if you guys find yourselves asking yourselves well

00:02:56.599 --> 00:03:03.400
what would a bunch of twitch streamers need with some kind of like uber Mega

00:03:00.280 --> 00:03:05.599
server you're probably not the only ones

00:03:03.400 --> 00:03:09.519
so I'm going to use this opportunity where we're hand delivering the server

00:03:07.280 --> 00:03:12.720
to walk through all of the different functions that this server is going to

00:03:11.000 --> 00:03:17.440
be performing here at the nerd Fusion headquarters thanks to the magic of

00:03:14.959 --> 00:03:22.440
unraid yes of course unrated is making another appearance in Linus's server

00:03:19.640 --> 00:03:28.080
video surprise surprise so first and

00:03:24.959 --> 00:03:30.480
foremost is the storage of archived

00:03:28.080 --> 00:03:36.959
twitch streams as some of you probably know twitch only allows even Partners to

00:03:33.560 --> 00:03:39.439
store their streams for about 60 days on

00:03:36.959 --> 00:03:44.680
the service before it is deleted permanently so this at 100 terabytes

00:03:42.480 --> 00:03:47.920
will be by far the largest storage server that they have in the building

00:03:46.640 --> 00:03:53.000
which shouldn't be that surprising giving the only other one that they have

00:03:49.920 --> 00:03:56.239
is there on that shelf and is awful and

00:03:53.000 --> 00:03:59.799
will allow them to store about one year

00:03:56.239 --> 00:04:01.920
of archived footage for easy access to

00:03:59.799 --> 00:04:08.959
everyone who works here I got to figure out how to get out of

00:04:03.920 --> 00:04:11.200
here yep that was easy gymnast so use

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

00:04:12.879 --> 00:04:19.199
typical Standalone NZ unit like we saw sitting in the closet they're going to

00:04:17.079 --> 00:04:22.800
fire up a Windows VM on the unraid server then they're going to load an

00:04:20.560 --> 00:04:26.440
application called wowza that is going to enable them to do a couple of

00:04:24.199 --> 00:04:32.560
different things first of all they will be able to save a 12 megabit full 1080p

00:04:29.800 --> 00:04:36.960
version of everything that they stream and because that's not really optimal

00:04:34.880 --> 00:04:43.160
for twitch they will be able to live transcode that incoming stream onto the

00:04:39.680 --> 00:04:45.800
server to 4 megabit 900p which is ideal

00:04:43.160 --> 00:04:50.400
for twitch this has a couple of effects number one is it gives them better

00:04:48.120 --> 00:04:53.680
quality footage to work with for vods or if they want to bring up a past

00:04:51.639 --> 00:04:59.360
broadcast for whatever reason during a live broadcast and number two is with a

00:04:57.320 --> 00:05:05.039
little more magic within wowza it would actually enable them to have an off

00:05:02.320 --> 00:05:09.120
platform an off twitch higher bit rate stream available for some of their

00:05:07.320 --> 00:05:14.479
biggest supporters that's something that is not happening yet but could be

00:05:12.039 --> 00:05:19.120
possible with this setup use case number two and this is actually really cool

00:05:16.440 --> 00:05:24.520
involves a second VM this time Linux running a program called fog it's a free

00:05:21.919 --> 00:05:28.120
open-source cloning utility and the point of it is that we're actually

00:05:26.360 --> 00:05:32.120
standing in one of their guest streaming rooms so whether it's a remote employee

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

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

00:05:39.600 --> 00:05:48.120
and quickly and easily back them up or restore them to a previous state so that

00:05:45.720 --> 00:05:52.440
you know Alex's passwords or applications or whatever else are wiped

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

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

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

00:06:04.440 --> 00:06:10.520
up in Canada which is a couple of problems number one is there's distance

00:06:08.280 --> 00:06:14.520
which means things can go wrong with the link between here and there number two

00:06:12.720 --> 00:06:18.759
is that it costs money if they host it out of here for people playing locally

00:06:16.639 --> 00:06:22.960
then it doesn't cost any extra money other than this server that we're giving

00:06:20.280 --> 00:06:27.880
them anyway and number three is that having it here on site in a VM means

00:06:25.400 --> 00:06:32.639
that they can just allocate more CPU and GPU resource to it as as needed because

00:06:30.759 --> 00:06:38.759
as some of you will know Minecraft servers can be RAM and to a lesser

00:06:34.720 --> 00:06:40.400
extent CPU Hogs and let's face it if

00:06:38.759 --> 00:06:43.360
your Minecraft server isn't performing properly you could be having a worse

00:06:42.120 --> 00:06:49.400
gaming experience than if you were trying to game without

00:06:45.960 --> 00:06:52.039
Doritos these aren't Doritos these are

00:06:49.400 --> 00:06:56.800
Tostitos they're stale so a third VM and we didn't really

00:06:54.720 --> 00:07:00.080
have anything to illustrate this because it'll be a year before they actually

00:06:58.440 --> 00:07:04.720
need one of these uh because that server is so huge so a

00:07:02.080 --> 00:07:10.199
third VM is going to be responsible for taking the archived footage off of the

00:07:08.080 --> 00:07:14.840
hot storage and putting it into Cold Storage so they're actually going to be

00:07:11.599 --> 00:07:17.000
picking up an autoloading tape drive

00:07:14.840 --> 00:07:21.240
which will basically uh once footage reaches a certain age or the server

00:07:18.680 --> 00:07:26.440
reaches a certain amount of fullness it'll take any of the oldest footage

00:07:23.240 --> 00:07:28.960
dump it onto tape label it move it out

00:07:26.440 --> 00:07:33.720
of the way and insert a new tape into the tape drop

00:07:30.360 --> 00:07:35.440
Drive oh cool okay so the last thing

00:07:33.720 --> 00:07:40.680
they're going to be doing is replacing their current security system with like

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

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

00:07:47.919 --> 00:07:52.440
is running I think they were going to use something like ey spy or similar so

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

00:07:56.280 --> 00:08:03.199
around instead of working that's the idea right Matt yeah

00:07:59.960 --> 00:08:05.280
yep got it yep and second of all they've

00:08:03.199 --> 00:08:10.680
actually talked about experimenting at least maybe to try it once with having a

00:08:07.919 --> 00:08:15.479
fullon live stream of everything that's going on in the office a second use

00:08:13.759 --> 00:08:20.560
aside from the whole video encoding thing for the CPU power that our little

00:08:18.080 --> 00:08:25.159
server in the closet there brings to the table so I hope you guys enjoyed this

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

00:08:27.639 --> 00:08:35.000
uh sort of indirectly what actually goes into running a a Twitch streaming

00:08:33.360 --> 00:08:40.959
company something that I bet a lot of you did not even realize existed so let

00:08:39.080 --> 00:08:45.480
me know in the comments below if there are any other creators that you think

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

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

00:10:18.000 --> 00:10:23.959
about server stuff when we lost all of our data temporarily but uh maybe I

00:10:22.519 --> 00:10:29.680
shouldn't have spoiled it whatever there's a lot of suspense and you can

00:10:25.560 --> 00:10:29.680
check that video out here
