Site infoThe server is a Digital Personal Workstation 500AU with
256 MB memory, but running at 600Mhz. Other servers in the cluster - intended to take over
during maintenance - are two Digital AlphaStation 200 computers. A DECStation 3000
is used for testing an Outlook-compatible application. Being convinced of the superiority (in many aspects) - To install Windows, it takes a Wizard
- To install Unix, it takes a Toolbox.
- To install OpenVMS, just >>>boot
And that's just what I did. Apart from the normal configuration - NO
extra's, apart for what's needed to server the Web. Current version is 8.2 on all machines. I
stopped using SWS (based on Apache) on August 21, 2006. It's basically a Unix
application and doesn't perform as efficient as I wish. I have no big iron, just
256 Mb memory and a EV56 processor, and want to be able to run RdB as well,
which requires a lot of resources as well. So efficiency is a major issue. Now
I run Mark Daniel's
webserver for production - but keep SWS at hand, just in case ;-)

For the hackers: I intend to keep trespassers out: a router is fire walling the entire intranet. It's NOT required for the server, that's safe enough. But I've got unsafe machines
as well. Back home |
