CUGNet 2.0 is Alive!

August 15, 2008

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.
