New Server

Michael Dale

We've finally got all the hardware ready and setup for the new server:

  • Dual Althon MP 1800+
  • 2gb ECC DDR Ram
  • 3x80gb SATA in Raid 5 for boot, off a HighPoint 1640
  • 3x300gb SATA in Raid 5 for data, off a RaidCore 4852

So yeah. Our new file/mail/sharepoint server!

It is really 160gb, as it is raid 5. The mail will be stored on this drive too.

Of course. The current server is a Windows box too. 4: Comment Link
