Tonight Philip and I got our servers moved to our new 1/4 rack spot at Airnet, installed our fourth server, and moved out the old eight-port switch in favor of a twenty-four-port replacement.
The third server that has been sitting unused for so long now is officially our Zimbra mail server. The fourth machine is our (local) backup machine, and also is running Tomcat plus the eXist XML database (which is a Java web app).
Moving the mail, backup, and eXist services to full machines (from VPS machines) allows them to leverage more disk I/O, and I can already tell a difference in how fast things load. I expect that we’ll continue to use virtual machines for things for the time being, especially for things like Subversion and web hosting.
The fifth member of our family should be arriving next week and going in by mid-month. It appears we could be adding a sixth soon as well …
