I was just wondering what most of you did for you servers, do you guys or girls I guess make your own servers, or do you use hp or cobalt or the likes???

Adam McGirr 07-04-2002, 02:42 AM Build your own, and colocate it with a reliable company. Purchasing prebuilt servers is all fine and dandy, but if something breaks, you need to know how to fix it. Upgrading software can also be a challenge if you're not intimately familiar with your server. With some research, you can put together your own server without spending too much money. We run Apache on FreeBSD, both reliable and excellent products, and both completely free. This means more money for decent hardware, which is a must. Building your own server certainly has quite a few advantages. mwatkins 07-04-2002, 03:09 AM Hey, railslug, another Vancouverite! And a CSS and FreeBSD fan no less. Excellent!

Adam - looks like we are neighbors at peer1. :) RackMy.com 07-04-2002, 03:54 AM Dell & a few IBM systems GH_Dave 07-04-2002, 03:59 AM Oh ya, I forgot to mention that I've got Proliants 5500, 1600 and 1850 .. I've been slowly going towards the 1U systems.... dl360's look nice :D |
