ebiquity Matrix Revolutions
By Tim Finin on Sunday, January 29th, 2006 at 1:31 pm.
The ebiquity Matrix servers (neo, trinity, morpheus, logos, niobe, link) were successfully moved from the cybersecurity lab to one of the OIT machine room. It turned out to be quite a bit of work to get the computers into our rack. We had custom rack mounting kits, but they required that many of the components in each computer be moved within its chassis. We still need to get some parts to get Logos in, since it’s a slightly different model. Many thanks to everyone who helped: Geoff, Brendan, Anand, Akshay, Pranam, Li, Andrej, Nimish, Sheetal and Lushan. We’ve uploaded some pictures from the tail end of the move to the ebiquity flickr site. Add comments and notes if you have a flickr account.

Also thanks to Pranam for helping out with the reconfiguration, moving and taking pictures. But then we shall thank him only after he uploads the photos.

This week we will move the main Swoogle server, EB2, into the machine room to join the matrix. It’s a two processor v20z with 4G of memory.
