Powerful Platform
Pacy World's choice of the VMWare, Dell, and Ubuntu server platform ensures maximum uptime and performance. Please read our satisfaction guarantee for more information.
A Dell Power Edge 1850 rack mount makes up the core of the Pacy World platform. It includes redundant power supplies, SCSI RAID, dual Intel Pentium Xeon processors clocked at 3GHz and 3 GB of DDR2 RAM. Running on top of this is Ubuntu Server 8.04 and VMWare Server, with another Ubuntu Server 8.04 as a guest operating system.
A dedicated T1 is fed through a Cisco 2600 series router and a Netgear FSM7352S Layer 3 managed ethernet switch. A m0n0wall is used to properly allocate bandwidth evenly so that a malicious client can not saturate the connection.
Systems are backed up nightly to an external hard drive, the equipment is protected by two APC 1500 VA UPS's. The Dell Power Edge 1850 rack server has redundant power supplies, and the room is properly cooled by central air conditioning.
