Server & Network Infrastructure

For deep technical details, see "2 - Network Info" and "3 - Computers / Servers" on the Current Info shelf. This page is the executive summary.

What's Running and Why

The home runs two Unraid servers (plus supporting network infrastructure) that host media streaming, home automation, document management, DNS/ad-blocking, backups, and this documentation wiki. Everything runs on the 10.100.100.0/24 network. The primary server ("BlizzRAID") does the heavy lifting; the backup server provides redundancy and additional services.
