During the HCoop IRC meeting on June 24, 2006, the group decided that it would based it's new system architecture on the following pieces of hardware: This page collects information on the hardware that we have installed or plan to install as part of HCoop infrastructure.

 * Two robust servers, one that doesn't allow normal user logins, and one that does.
 * One switch to form a LAN between these servers.
 * One serial port device, to facilitate remote access to our servers.		 <<TableOfContents>>

Also, it was mentioned that we should research hardware support contracts from any vendor that will be selling us equipment. == deleuze ==

Additionally, group decided that the server that HCoop currently owns, Abulafia, will be brought to he.net for shell service. This will follow a necessary re-load of the OS software at a time to be determined later.  * [[https://dcse.dell.com/selfstudy/Associates_7_0/Enterprise/PowerEdge/PE2850/printer_friendly.asp|Maintenance Manual for the PE 2850]]

Line 49: Line 101:
MichaelOlson thinks that we should go with the Netgear switch. It has been rated as a very reliable product, and is very affordable. 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.
