The servers
Braeburn: The File server
Braeburn is a PC, operational since Christmas 2007. Seems to operate smoothly. It serves all xtal filesystems and is responsible for backups.
Conifer: Web services
PC from 2003, its the web gateway.
Pear: DB server
A 2xG5 MAC from 2005, runs Depot, 3DR DB, XTALHIT, the SVN depository and TRAC. All these are crucial services. Pear has been updated to OSX 10.5 since 7/2008.
Redwoord: LIMS services
Redwood is a 2002 PC, hooked up to a 1.2 Tera RAID (IDE disks on SCSI)
The workstations
All workstations are accessible to all xtal users and are at the seminar room of B8. Mostly outdated 2-proc Xeon DELLs betwen 2-2.4 GHz, with great stereo graphics cards from NVidia.
kers
Kers is also the ssh server and run NoMachine, for remote desktop services. No good reason for that, both services should rather migrate to a server.
The cluster
xhead and the four xnodes form a small OSX based 10-proc cluster (10 CPUs) total. Quite old by now (3 years) it worked perfectly with zero down time over its life time. Its located at the B8 server room.
