The Game Den is hosted on a
Sun Microsystems Enterprise 250. The Sun Enterprise 250 server
runs dual UltraSparc II 300MHz processors with 2 Megs of
cache, has over one Gigabyte of RAM, with dual power supplies
running RAID-5 on all Game Den data and RAID-1 on the root
partition for the Operating System, Solaris 7. The unit cost
about $30,000. |

This photograph was taken
after the packaging material was removed from the Sun server.
In the background there are several rows of APC Netshelters,
which will be our Sun server's new home. The Netshelter keeps
the server nice and cool as well as dust free. |

This is a close-up view of
the Sun internal hard drives. Of the 6 drives, 4 are 36.4
Gigabyte hard drives, operating at 10,000 RPM with a 6.4ms
seek time. These 4 drives are used for data only, and run in a
RAID-5 configuration.
The other 2 drives are 18.1 Gigabyte hard drives, operating at
10,000 RPM with a 6.4ms seek time as well. These drives run in
a RAID-1 configuration (mirrored) and is used for the
Operating System only. |

This view shows 12 sticks of
RAM, or a total of 1,088MB of RAM, dual UltraSparc II 300MHz
processors (the beige boxes above the RAM), and the large
surface area of the motherboard. |

RAM used within our Sun
Enterprise 250 server are manufactured by Kingston
Technologies. Currently, there are 8 sticks of 128MB and 4
sticks of 16MB for a total of 1,088MB of RAM! Notice one of
the several 5" fans in the background |

We're very happy with the
performance of this web server. It should last us quite awhile as
we're no where near pushing its limits. The Tech Zone and a few other
affiliated sites will soon be house by it. This should improve the
performance of The Tech Zone a lot.
