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>>
Line 9: Line 7:
Also, it was mentioned that we should research hardware support contracts from any vendor that will be selling us equipment. = Peer1 =
Line 11: Line 9:
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. Current pictures of the actual Peer1 cabinet are at [[OnSiteVisits/20130627]].

Docelic, or other users -- please update this section since I am entirely ignorant about these devices! :) The StarTech Server Remote Control External KVM over IP provides access to systems that may have a degraded network.
