Equipment
dotsrc.org rely on donated equipment, and on this page we present our current server farm. We are always searching for more and better hardware, and our wish list is full of hardware that would help us provide an even better service to the Open Source community.
Mirror Server
Right now our mirrors are stored on a
- Dual-1GHz Pentium III server
- 1 GB RAM
- StorageWorks Disk System 2300 with 1 TB net capacity (sponsored by HP)
We're intensively working on getting more and better hardware though -- the goal is 3-4 TB of diskspace and two modern dual-CPU servers (one for HTTP/FTP, one for rsync). If you have an idea on which company or organization might be interested in sponsoring parts of that, please drop us a line. Any help in this area is greatly appreciated.
IRC Server
- Dual Pentium III 800MHz
- 1G RAM
- FreeBSD.
Project Login Server
A beefy HP Integrity rx2600-2 machine with dual 1,3GHz Itanium2 CPUs, 4GB RAM and 1TB fast storage attached via a Smart Array raid controller. A really nice machine which we use for hosting open source development projects. Currently it also serves our mirrors via NFS to our front-end mirror server.
Usenet server
The server was kindly sponsored by Aalborg University.
- HP compaq proliant DL380G3:
- 2x 2.8GHz Pentium 4 XEON CPU's w. 512KB L3 cache

- 2x 1Gbit integrated network
- Smart Array 5i Plus RAID controller (integrated, 2 SCSI channels)
- Battery-Backed Write Cache Enabler for the Raid controller
- 2 Power Supplies
- 6x 72 GB/10K U320 hotswap SCSI disks
- Running Diablo 5.0 on FreeBSD.
SunSITE server
- Sun E3500 with 2 CPUs
- 2 G RAM
- Solaris 8
Previously this server ran all of the SunSITE services, and currently it runs services that we have not yet moved to other servers.
Staff Admin Server
Our internal administration box which runs administrative tasks, serves as a staff-login box and updates all of our mirrors. This box is a dual 1GHz P3 Compaq Proliant machine with 1GB RAM and a couple of fast disks.
Mail Server
A dual 1GHz P3 Compaq proliant (same make as the admin-box) with 1GB RAM and a couple of fast 15kRPM SCSI-disks in raid which serves as our mail- and list server.
