I thought it might good to provide everyone with some photos of the new HP SAN and Blade infrastructure that we will soon be deploying our services on. We’re extremely excited about the opportunities it will bring to our customers as well as our business. These photos have been taken during testing and we are still adding Blades and SAN modules to the environment.
We have been hard at work this year to bring our customers a new level of high availability. Our order has placed with HP for a SAN and Blade setup, and should arrive in days.
What does this mean?
This means we will be able to provide a higher level of uptime on our entire product range. The new setup is designed with no single point of failure in mind across all aspects of the setup. This means if server goes offline or fails it will be automatically started on a new node with minimal downtime (seconds/minutes). Unlike traditional SANs, the SAN we have selected (HP P4000 G2) allows for a single or multiple shelf failure without the SAN or volumes going down – this adds unprecedented reliability to the SAN.
An interesting service to check your wireless security strength is http://www.wpacracker.com/index.html
The service started by the same person who revealed the possibility in of hacking SSL.
The service runs on a 400 CPU cloud, and you have the option to either purchase full power of the cluster, or half power. The service will search through a database of 135 million dictionary based passwords.
