System Highlights

This enterprise-grade home lab infrastructure combines professional networking equipment with powerful server hardware to create a robust platform for both personal and development projects. The layered approach to both networking and storage ensures optimal performance while maintaining security through proper isolation.

The integration of UPS backup power with Starlink failover provides exceptional uptime even during power or primary internet outages. The RAID-configured storage array balances performance and redundancy while supporting the high-capacity requirements of modern applications and media storage.
