Project Scabbard

Project Scabbard is the codename for the overt operation to move Rumfish.net to a dedicated server.

Connection
The server is co-located through Iglou in Louisville. This is s good deal more expensive than our previous hosting plan, but we have a dedicated server as opposed to one the one we were sharing with hundreds of other sites. This has opened up a number of possibilities.

This puts us on a bonded pair of T3 connections, one in Lexington and one in Louisville, for a total of 90mbps connectivity. We are allowed 25GB/month of data transfer, with an overage rate of $1.50/GB/month.

Phoenix
Risen from the ashes of Hydra and Louisville, the burden of [rumfish.net] is now borne by Phoenix.

Phoenix is running Windows Server 2008 with Hyper-V at its core. Other functionality is added on top of virtual machines.

Hydra
Our first dedicated server, now used as a testing system.
