Farrell IT is configuring this commodity server to provide high performance and high availability services to the local network, and to the outside world.
This server's role is to take part in the redundant mySQL database cluster and provide a clustered filesystem for local redundant storage. These two redundant storage solutions may be used as the foundation for other, web-available services including email, web, & DNS.
| Service | Server Program | Internal | External |
|---|---|---|---|
| HTTP | Apache | X | X |
| DNS | BIND | X | X |
| Postfix | X | X | |
| DB Cluster | mySQL | X | |
| Cluster FS | glusterFS | X |
Some of these services are not implemented.
Like all of the new high availability servers at farrellit, this machine is named from a tree.
The Oak is beautiful type of tree that grows, in it's various shapes and sizes, all over the world*. The white, red, and burr oak trees that grow near me are some of my favorite trees. Majestic and strong, the powerful Oak is a wise and stately addition to local groves.
The wood of the oak trees that grow around here is quite hard, and they often live quite a long time. These trees are an appropriate namesake for this server because it is powerful and, since its hardware is fairly modern, it should be around a while.
* The genus Quercus is amazingly diverse, including deciduous and coniferous trees and shrubs. Originally thinking of the group in a less technical sense, I have only provided a cross-section of the wikipedia page.
So, you want to know what's under the hood? Well, this will have to do.
