3 UPS's read 350ish Watt all day 24/7/365 and thats just from my main rack

Add another 400 watts for my proxmox cluster (5 node one being an ML360g6 for 200watts)

And then another 150ish watts for my computer desk with 2 laptops and 6 monitors

Did i say i live in an apt and DONT pay for electric :)

Im a little "seasoned" at 45 rotations around the blue ball so YRMV lol

1 - Pirated Movies - XBMC -> Plex (2 bare metal servers with transition to Virtual in progress)

2 - Storage - Freenas -> Synology (300+TB across 6 units)

3 - Networking - Unmanaged -> Managed / Multi Vendor / LACP / WIFI

4 - Compute - ION Based NUC -> ThinCentre / ML360G6

5 - Virtual Envio - Single ESXI Host -> 5 Node Proxmox Cluster with Ceph on 10G

Basically for me it started with Saving private ryan on VCD / CDR back in the day, that led me down the IRC rabbit hole and i got into XBMC for playback. That meant NAS storage for more movies and then from XBMC i moved into Plex so needed more server based compute and such. All the while needed to learn networking to hook it all up and make it work correctly.

I also went from working at Terminix as a pest control operator to doing customer support via email for a .com in the early 2000's to now leading technical deployments at a forture 10 pharma :)

All cause of Saving Private Ryan on Pirated VCD in CAMMED quality lol

That only works on switches and routers that support LAGG/LACP AND you know how to configure it correctly.

Bad dasiy chain, bad

Short answer is: If you want something non standard, you are going to need to provide it yourself.

How EXACTLY do YOU WANT them to run the line?

You know it has to come from the nearest pole so figure out the path and figure out the transport method.

Mostly buried lines are THE BEST outside of your exact issue which is remedied with a 2-3inch buried PVC EXACTLY where YOU want it to cause YOU the least amount of issues.

If YOU really don't want it buried, YOU figure out how to do it aerially, even thought thats probably harder unless you already have a nicely strung path.
