Server room

For the benefit of the techies, here is a picture of our server room:

From left to right:

• angela - DNS, web cache and Samba PDC (soon to be replaced)
• jenna - Web and MySQL server
• debra - Mail, LDAP and fax server
• harriet (on top of rack) - Secondary DNS, streaming audio

The server just visible in the bottom left corner of the picture is one of our customers' co-located machines.

A closer look at the rack:

This is a 6U rack enclosure. The patch bay and 16-port switch at the top connect to the office network. The 32-port switch below this connects the outward-facing servers to the internet, and is linked to the office network. An ISDN terminal adaptor is located next to the 16-port switch to facilitate dial-in and backup internet access.

Two US Robotics Sportster modems are visible in the space of the bottom of the rack, these are used for sending and receiving faxes.

The black box at the right hand side in front of the rack is an Econet clock, left over from the days when we used BBC Microcomputers here!
