current servers are pretty old, John and I decided to buy a<br>
new server and a couple of 4TB drives. The unit is a
Supermicro 2U<br>
Server X7QCE 4x Intel Xeon E7450 2.4ghz 24 Cores / 24gb / 2x
1tb<br>
Not 100% sure what OS John is planning, but hopefully CentOS
7. where we<br>
can use either dockers or boxes for VMs. Actually 2 4TB
drives cost more<br>
than the server.<br>
<br>
Since we have some money in the treasury and since much of
our services<br>
are delivered online, this should be a prudent investment.
I'm sure that<br>
the day after John brings this to Earthlink, they will give
us the<br>
virtual machines they offered us 2 years ago.<br>
