Server Specifications
I was asked on the specs of the Nightmist setup and realised they weren't posted anywhere.
So I thought I'd tell you a bit about what I have and what it does.
From September 2000 to July 2007, Nightmist ran from my house, but due to my ISP NTL changing their policies a bit with traffic shaping on their network and introducing peak time bandwidth capping, I decided to move Nightmist onto one of the servers I have for MrGigabit Internet Services.
This has the advantage of more bandwidth, and won't be constrained by any NTL limits, and is co-located with others I own at a RapidSwitch datacenter near London.
Also it will reduce my home power bill, but the costs of hosting make that a mute point really!
The server Nightmist currently runs from:
Dell PowerEdge R300 1U system
Intel Quad core Xeon x3663 @ 2.83 GHz
16 GB ECC FB-DDR2 memory
2x 750 GB SATA 7200 rpm hard drives on raid 1
Windows Server 2008
100 mbit internet connection
