Servers and Cell Phones
As you may have heard (via Donny's blog) the DNJ server was running poorly because all the new features, which added a lot of CPU hit and DB traffic. Donny and I chatted about how to solve the problem, and tried a few things before deciding we needed more servers. Up to this date DNJ has been running off of a single, dual-proc server (actually we used to run off a single 500 MHz server).
Daisy Cutter (our existing server) is a dual 1.2 GHz CPU with 1 GB RAM. We just added The Beast, a server Donny was using for dev testing, that is a dual AMD XP1600+ machine with 2 GB RAM (I believe).
We just ordered another server to replace Daisy Cutter, which will also be a dual AMD XP1600+ machine with 2 GB RAM. The new machine will be our Web Server, and will be running Windows Server 2003 (with IIS6.0). Daisy Cutter will not be retired, but rather it will be turned into a staging and source control server.
I'll keep you posted on how I like the new phone.
The new servers will be set up this week sometime.
On a side note, I lost my Samsung I-330 PalmOS phone last night, so today I went and replaced it with the SCP 5300 phone. Its not a PalmOS phone, but it is a PCS Vision phone (with a built-in camera, not an attachement). I didn't like the fact that the I300 phone had a touch screen- I can't feel the buttons while dialing and driving.
