[EHPweb] Fwd: Equipment for WEB

[Christopher J Bidwell]

I would really like to build out a definitive backup solution for our 
servers.  Right now it's just a few scripts that back up the earthquake 
dir(s), apache configs, etc, that copies to the ehpnas. 

1. I don't like the NAS isn't ssh'able, we have to rely on standard 
rsyncs, plus aren't able to build a share due to PSS.
2. It would take a good while to restore from backup due to drive and 
network limitation of restoring a large (80G+) file.

I'm not sure of the specs for the old ENS1 server, but if possible, I'd 
still like to use one of our new servers as our monitoring server.
        1. It's an IBM and is warrantied.
        2. It's easy to get support and mainte.nance.
        3. It's easy to get parts for.
        4. I'm familiar with the hardware and know that I can easily 
manage and maintain.
        5. It would be nice to have two monitoring servers that act as 
failover for each other.

Please let me know if you are aware of any need for web infrastructure 
equipment.

We've talked about ENS upgrades, separating CPU-heavy web applications 
from the rest of the web server, and separating the database server from 
the webserver, but we haven't settled on any definitive plans for any of 
these.

Should we have a discussion about any of these again?

Lisa,

Just in case ANSS get some of the Stimulus money, Bill Leith has asked me
to do an list of equipment we might need in the next year.

What would be the need for the Web infrastructure?

Thanks, Barbara
