Harrisonburg Data Center

Coming soon!

Not quite your traditional NoVA Data Center

HBDC will be offering things that are familiar--rentable computing power--at better prices, with better service, and a focus on the smaller customers, and more personal service.

Where are we located? Madison, VA, near Rt 29.

Fully IPv6 at no cost! We will NOT be offering any IPv4 addresses. Amazon is now charging for v4, we aren't going there.

OK that's not strictly true. There will be some V4 addresses early on, right now, for a while...but before eventually, entirely V6.

How to do this: Call us on the phone, talk to one of our guys (contact info at the bottom). Let's talk about how we can support your computing needs. We will discuss what you are wanting to do, and how, and how that lines up with our computing power.

Our standard rack config:

20x HP DL360 Gen 9 20-core 1U 2.8 GHz, Host choice of Ubuntu 22/24 or Windows Server 2022 Data Center. VMs default is Ubuntu 24; if you need something else, call us.

2x 8-card NVidia P100 GPU Server (A100 coming soon)

1 Petabyte Perm file storage, local to a rack. Using NextCloud, phone apps available.

10 gigabit networking

Note: We are not quite there yet, but that will be the standard config. If your computing needs require something different, give us a call, these racks can be physically reconfigured.

Technical topics:

Here is the blog for Data Center writing I have been doing in recent months.

A video about installing ProxMox 9 on HP DL 360 Gen 6
I went through this for a while, never really found the online resource explaining it. There were "explanations" that were partial at best. This one works, I used it on a couple of DL 360 Gen 6s. One of them finally died a few months later, but the other one is still running. See the blog for written details

A video about getting 'apt update' to run. Course Video 2.
