Well he has Management down pat, I was busy doing important stuff, let the other guys handle it so I can fire them when asked for corrective action


Just kidding of course....


Something was in the air that day for sure, I think that alert melted everything down.

A Meraki, I see...and are you converting SFP/SFP+ to copper, sitting loosely on top of the server? Lol.

 

[QuahHawk]

The suddenlink modem was docsis 3.0 they had been paying for 500mbs for years only getting about 300 through but of couse thevfc 100m media convert bottle neck.

Yeah with the speed upgrades of the network Modems can be a big bottle neck unless you upgrade them also, something many forget or don't think about, Even in homes, we just went from a 100 megs to 230 megs at home all due to a older Modem we just replaced.

Well done Wenhawk. I do see a lot of work there and see the work done. Thanks for the vision.


Chat is not up for those that may be interested. Thanks for all the hard work tho...really do appreciate it.

You want to fight?!

 

[Touchdown]

Here is the plan going forward. I will be doing site survey work today and moving the new hardware in. New circuit with 5 IPs, 220 voltage with dual 30A feeds, Security Appliance and private cloud with high-availability and geo-redundancy. All on-premises to facilitate 24/7 support except of course the DR (geo-redundancy).

​

This will take all day to move and organize.

The actual circuit and power will take all of next weekend.​

Does that have a built in battery back up system? Your dual redundancy is great but still based on commercial power. At least from the description you gave.

I know from when I did Customer Premise stuff they started using dual A and B load battery back up's on some of their stuff, they were small and just made for like 2 hrs life extension or so in the event of a minor glitch, I guess they figured 2 hrs is the typical repair cycle for a random outage that wasn't a major outage.

Clean looking piece of gear though !

 

[SeaChat]

Yeah I thought maybe it was my local ISP blocking sites for some reason, I was watching the game and wanted to log in to the IRC chat and couldn't get anywhere. I know servers can be a pain to manage sometimes. I have been doing it for 30 plus years now, and just went through a similar fiasco recently.

My server security was compromised by a Trojan Malware File, and I had to hire help to get it defeated and resecure things before I could get my server and the sites on it, back on line.

I now have to payout going to keep it clean. Its the price of running a server in this day and age. It's also why it's important for all of us to support the Seahawks.net forum, with your domations of a few bucks, now and again, when you can spare it,

It's not fair that the admins have to provide for all the cost, to insure that we have a place like this to hang out, and have so damn much fun. This outage was a reminder for me, that it's time to toss a few bucks in the hat today. it's been awhile, I figure I'm due.


My thanks to Anguish and everyone else behind the scenes, who makes this place possible for all of us. ..

Go Seahawks!
