SoftLayer SxSW Server Challenge

As the doors open to the trade show at South by Southwest (SxSW) Interactive 2011, SoftLayer is poised and ready to greet attendees with a brand new “Server Challenge” in booth 400. In previous iterations, the Server Challenge involved reassembling a single server with about a dozen components. In this challenge, we’re going bigger. Literally.

In SoftLayer’s booth, we have a 12U rack loaded with five servers and three network switches, and the challenge is to put it all back together as fast as possible. Check it out:

If you’re roaming the trade show aisles, swing by and try your hand! Fastest time wins an iPad 2.
