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.
CUGNet Donation Drive!
July 1, 2008
CUGNet is looking for new hardware to satisfy a lot of the needs that it currently has. The new 1U server will cost approximately 3500 dollars and they are looking to (hopefully) raise the money quickly enough to basically do a drop-in replacement.
