So, what hardware do you regularly use?

Taken from this thread (http://www.gotapex.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=71906) where Jeffbx and I started talking about what we use at work, what hardware does everyone around here work with?

I work for a global carrier so I see a lot of different equipment.

I work with Nortel 7440 and 15k Passport switches for our backbone frame relay and x.25 traffic, Marconi TNX-1100 and ASX-4000 ATM switches for our backbone ATM traffic, Cisco 3640 routers for our out-of-band management, SAGEM E1/E3 to STM-1 multiplexers, Eastern Research DCS multiplexers for our fractional/T-1 and DS-3 traffic, and Ciena Metrowave DWDM multiplexers, K2 DS-3/OC-3/12/48 Add/Drop/Multiplexers and CoreDirector Optical switches for our SONET and SDH rings around the world (USA, Europe, Japan and Australia). I have to be fluent in all these boxes and I hate it when I start confusing CLI commands between them!

I also play around with a win2k server at home to try and keep myself current on micro$haft stuff.

We're a relatively small company (about 400 employees globally) but part of a much larger organization based in Europe. We do software development, so we have a bunch of really geeky toys to play with:

W2K & W2K3 server on Dell PowerEdge servers
IBM AIX
Sun Solaris
HP/UX
SGI IRIX
Small bits of LINUX mixed in
Cisco 4006 & 4507 chassis for our internal network - mix of 10/100 & copper GB
Cisco 7200VXR Router to connect to our global MPLS network
VSAT Satellite downlink from Europe
Cisco 1720 for my secret T1 that I'm not supposed to have
My favorite: Network Appliance FAS940 filer - 5TB of disk space on that baby!
Getting ready to buy another Netapp - the cheaper NearStore R200 with 8TB of disk space. (Cheaper 'cuz it uses IDE instead of fiber channel SCSI)

I use this box thingy sitting on my desk. And it's got a matching color slab of plastic with lots of neat buttons. and then there's the little round thing with buttons and a wire going to the box thingy. I use this at least 12 hours a day at work.
