What hardware is used in the Pratt servers? (outdated)

This page is used to outline the configuration of our existing systems and the proposed configuration of new systems. This is for enterprise servers only. This is NOT a hardware catalog for end users!

Current Barebones Standard
For new systems, we should be getting the following setup to start with.

1U: Computer & Control Solutions (CCS Inc.) RC0103 Chassis
2U: Computer & Control Solutions (CCS Inc.) RC0222-L2M2R4 Chassis
Tyan Thunder K7X (S2468GN) w/o integrated SCSI
PC2100 DDR SRAM from Corsair
For IDE based systems
RAID-5: 3Ware 7500-4/8/12 RAID Card
RAID-0 or 1: Adaptec 2400A RAID or 3Ware 7500-2 RAID
Western Digital Special Edition IDE drives w/ 8MB cache or Seagate 21A drives (for smaller setups)
For SCSI Based Systems
Mylex 170 RAID Card (subject to change)
Seagate Cheetah Drives (Ultra160 or higher)

Zope Server
This unit will need sizable storage, memory and CPU power. Lets utilize some mid sized IDE drives on a 3Ware RAID (since we can't afford SCSI for this right now)

2U Chassis (see above)
Dual 1900+ or 2000+ CPUs (based on price)
1GB PC2100 DDR RAM
2x40-80GB Seagate 21A or WD Spec Edition drives for OS and non Zope DB partitions
4x??? WD Special Edition Drives for Data partition
3Ware 7500-8 RAID Card
Utilize on-board 3C920 NICs
Floppy and CD-ROM drives

Software Development
Server Pretty much the same as Zope setup. Need lots of storage and some CPU power.

2U Chassis (see above)
Dual 1800+ to 2000+ CPUs (based on price)
512MB to 1GB PC2100 DDR RAM (based on price)
2x40-80GB Seagate 21A or WD Spec Edition drives for OS and non Zope DB partitions
4x??? WD Special Edition Drives for Data partition
3Ware 7500-8 RAID Card
Utilize on-board 3C920 NICs
Floppy and CD-ROM drives

Novell Server
Lets go 2U with this, but only 2 drives in RAID-1 formation. If we find that we want to store MORE on this, we can move the data to a 4 drive RAID-5 partition.

2U Chassis (see above)
Dual 1600+ to 1800+ CPUs (don't need high horsepower here)
512MB PC2100 DDR RAM
2x120GB Seagate 21A or WD Spec Edition drives
3Ware 7500-8 RAID Card
Utilize on-board 3C920 NICs
Floppy and CD-ROM drives

Archibus Server
This can be small and lightweight

1U Chassis
Single CPU motherboard
256MB to 512MB of RAM
2x120GB Seagate 21A or WD Spec Edition drives
Adaptec 2400A or 3Ware 7500-2 RAID Card
Utilize on-board 3C920 NICs
Floppy and CD-ROM drives

Email Server
Heavy Duty 2U System with around 800GB of disk space

2U Chassis (see above)
Dual 2200+ CPUs (based on price)
Minimum 1GB PC2100 DDR RAM
2x120GB Seagate 21A or WD Spec Edition drives for OS
4x200GB WD Special Edition Drives for Data partition
3Ware 7500-8 RAID Card
Utilize on-board 3C920 NICs
Floppy and CD-ROM drives

Web/Database Server (pseas01)
This unit is currently deployed

APPro 1124 SCSI Chassis with Tyan Thunder motherboard
Dual Athlon MP 1600+ Processors
1GB of SDRAM
Mylex 170 RAID Card
2x18GB Seagate Cheetah drives
2x36GB Seagate Cheetah drives
