Hardware that once was, but no longer is.

10. abulafia: shell server

The humble server we started with. It started off with a tbird Athlon that fried itself from overheating, refurbished with a cooler Duron it served us for several years.

Intended use: refurbished slightly to serve as a generic shell server and the only machine where usage not strictly related to "Internet hosting" is permitted. Due to failing parts the machine was decomissioned completely and is no longer planned for reuse.

11. baltar

12. xanadu

Removed from rack in December 2008 to make space needed for servicing other machines. Server wasn't able to run with current hardware, and the board determined that it would be more effective to purchase a higher-powered server to fill our rack rather than purchase parts needed to bring Xanadu into operation.

13. krunk

Use: was a secondary KDC and AFS server. Decomissioned after it developed problems in the hardware (as we perceived it) network stack.

14. mire

Turned off, left in rack in case we end up re-using it as a wheezy based console server

Former Use: dynamic web content, services that involve running arbitrary code from members (including custom daemons, etc.)

15. deleuze

Still in the rack.

Use: email server, backup server

16. kvm

Still in the rack.

The StarTech Server Remote Control External KVM over IP provides access to systems that may have a degraded network. It allows us to monitor Power-On Self Test (POST), configure BIOS/CMOS, and even reinstall operating system software. It must be connected to another multiple port KVM in order to have access to more than one server.

17. hopper

Still in the rack.

Use: Secondary KDC, secondary openafs volume and fileserver, and SpamAssassin

(The 1x2 GB RAM module was acquired from Newegg, and the two disks from ServerSupply. Purchases were made in Sep 2008, but ServerSupply took good 3 weeks to deliver).

FritzInfo

Use: AndrewFileSystem fileserver, MitKerberos kdc, KernelVirtualMachine host
