CUGNet 2.0 is Alive!
August 15, 2008 · Print This Article
The new CUGNet is now in place and the old hardware has been deprecated, wipes, and sold off. This new gear is a Dell Poweredge 1950 III with the following specs:
- 2 Quad Core 2.0Ghz Xeon Processors
- 8 GB Ram
- 750 GB Raid 1 (2 750 GB Western Digital 7200rpm Drives)
- Redundant Power Supplies
The machine is colocated at one of Chicago’s peering stations in the near-south side. This location has highly redundant power and internet, so power outages should be a thing of the past. If you would like more information as to how the system is built, go here.
Power outages are a thing of the past until someone accidently shuts down the box. *whistles innocently*
You might know something about that, now don’t you :-p
