New server status (in General)


AdminJonathan February 15 2007 12:20 PM EST

Shipped the new server off to the colo facility today. It will arrive next Wednesday; I'll be at PyCon from Wednesday until Sunday, so Saturday March 3 is a likely time to take the new one live.

The new machine has 8GB of ram and 6 15k rpm SCSI disks, so I'm looking forward to it. :)

UG. Shiny rock pretty.

And the co-locating means better bandwidth reliability? Or isn't that an issue any more?

Thanks, Jonathan!

Thanks DAWG! Oh wait..

Great work Jon :)

hahah.. I thought colo was short for Colorado =)

"the co-locating means better bandwidth reliability?"

that's what I'm hoping, we've been having downtime around once a month with csolutions lately which is pretty ridiculous

QBsutekh137 February 15 2007 1:37 PM EST

Better all the way 'round! Thank you, fearless leader!

8GB ought to be enough for anybody.

AdminQBnovice [Cult of the Valaraukar] February 15 2007 2:12 PM EST

heh eight gigs should be, but I bet an oracle install with some weight could eat that much ram up in seconds...

it's those 15k rpm disks I'm drooling over...

Its would be great if you could give us more information on the sever.CPU chipset Ram type.....

What was the final bill for that beast?

Sir Leon [Soup Ream] February 15 2007 4:43 PM EST

Awsome!

Statistic wise, How much better is the new server compared to the old?

AdminQBnovice [Cult of the Valaraukar] February 15 2007 4:47 PM EST

as jeep is to tank

"8GB ought to be enough for anybody."

640K will be plenty of RAM for user space programs.......

Maybe, we can have graphics now? :D

deifeln February 15 2007 8:19 PM EST

PoisoN February 15 2007 8:35 PM EST

Maybe we can have a few hundred more players? I'm tired of fighting people half of my score.
