| Nora | NetrinoUK Redbus Sovereign House, Docklands, London |
Sep 2004 - Jul 2007 | Pentium 4 2.8GHz |
512M | 75G (RAID1) | Remote power control, remote serial console access. | Initial single disk had some bad sectors, causing reliability problems. RAID array fitted June 2005 should make disk problems a thing of the past. Remote power control and serial console fitted June 2005 now gives full control over rebooting, with access to Grub and kernel boot messages and prompts. Server retired in 2007 now that we have multi-processor ones with more memory. |
| Hebe | 1&1 Internet Germany |
Aug 2004 - July 2005 | Celeron 2GHz |
256M | 37G | Remote power control, network boot recovery mode. | Initially rented during problems with Suzie, but a less powerful machine. Recovery mode allows power cycling and booting from the network, which allows boot problems to be sorted, albeit slowly. |
| Suzie | NetrinoUK Easynet, Brick Lane, London |
Mar 2003 - Nov 2004 | Pentium 3 | 512M | 37G | Reboot requests only. | Blade server. Some disk problems, but otherwise reliable. Some network issues at Easynet prompted Netrino to move to Redbus. Upgraded to Hebe on Netrino's new network when the disk finally died. |
| Walter | UK2.net London |
Sep 2000 - Mar 2004 | AMD 300MHz |
128M | 13G | Reboot requests only. | A reliable Cobalt RaQ3 server. Came to the end of its useful life. |
