On Sunday, 7 June, we were in the datacentre moving servers, and three new machines joined our rack.
We often get asked where our association keeps its servers. All of them are in two Master datacentres, one in Prague and one in Brno. On Sunday morning, we were at the Prague datacentre moving servers between two racks, tidying the cabling and taking away old hardware we no longer need.
The result is three new servers in our rack. We added two on Sunday, while one had already been humming away for a while. They're all Supermicro machines, each with two Xeon processors, 256 GB RAM, 2× 240 GB Intel S3500 SSDs and 6× WD Black 2 TB drives.
One server has only 128 GB RAM for now, but we already have the second set of memory modules (DDR4) ready to bring it up to 256 GB like the others. The memory is still in its box; we'll install it on our next visit.
So we have three new machines, and we also obtained new IPv4 addresses a while ago, bringing our total to just under three thousand. We're ready for further growth.
