We plan to shut this server down by the end of this calendar year. That
server turns 10 in a few months, and we're starting to be a little
surprised it still boots. If I told you the specs of the server, you'd die
of laughing.
If you've got an ALLOW on that server now, I'm moving you over to our
shiny, new 24-core monster (with gigabit dedicated) in Albany, NY...all
powered by Niagara falls.
That being said, if Tampa allows you, I'll reach out to you over the next
few weeks and give you the new server details. (And we're planning to add
more as well as replace the one in Tampa.)
If you don't know what I'm talking about but need some lightweight backup
lines for non-bandwidth heavy feeds, let me know. We can probably
accommodate you. Just reply to me directly. We do have some room for
backup ALLOW entries for NEXRAD2, but first we have to satisfy some
reciprocity, so it will take some calculation to see many of those we can
afford.
Current plan is to add a gigabit server in Los Angeles in the next month or
two, then something central after that (Dallas or Chicago, possibly
Denver). All our servers will be interconnected, and an ALLOW on one is an
ALLOW on them all, so that keeps things simple.
Regards,
Evan
