Info on Servers

• This is mostly out of date: add to it two SGI Altix 3700bx2 (64-way), one SGI Altix 350 (16-way), one white-box Itanium (4-way), all running SLES9, and a couple of Xeon boxes running SuSE 11.0.
• Linux servers installed and still maintained by me (others may have been installed by me, but are no longer maintained by me)

  VirtualRDC notes

• Windows computers

  Native

  A couple of Windows laptops over time, for non-Linux users in the home office environment

  VMWare

  A couple of VMWare images running different versions of Windows for (a) compatibility mode - needed to run a Windows app not supported by CXOffice or (b) as a quasi-help desk for colleagues and application testing.

• Unix

  Tru64

  Ah, the good old DSBU02: 8-way, 40GB-RAM Compaq Alpha/Wildfire with the good old 677Mhz chips... much faster on most things than ...

  Sun

  24-way 192GB-RAM E12000, and a couple of 2- and 4-way Sun v880, running 900Mhz-Cu Sparc chips.

  SGI

  purchased one, and helped configure a second, 64-way 384GB-RAM SGI 3700bx2, running SLES9 on Itanium. Lots of horsepower, but somehow, not quite as stable as the Wildfire...
