We have been busy for the past few months provisioning servers for clients. We have added ~30 servers, including several 8 CPU cores, 32GB
RAM, RAID 10 servers. These are excellent as database servers. We continued to have good results with our dual socket dual core web servers
as well.
Increasingly, clients are asking for internal gigabit networks, private VLANs, for internal traffic such as mysql and NFS. We have been adding
more gigabit switches to meet these requirements.
We are looking at retiring or upgrading older servers. As of end Oct 08, we have retired ~20 servers which are dual socket single core.
The retired servers are in storage currently. Ideally, we would like to donate the retired servers to education, non profit or charity
organisations within Singapore. These servers are heavy, around 20KG each, so shipping out of Singapore may not be cost effective.
The servers are rackmountable 1U servers, very high speed fans, so they are very noisy. If you know of individuals or organisations
who can make good use of these servers, please contact us.
