Infrastructure and Other Games, Part 1
Nov 10th
Part 1: VDC, Layout and Firewall.
I had a problem. All of my personal infrastructure was on an aging server, cobbled together from various parts that were laying around. I had already replaced the motherboard once, and I was not looking forward to doing more maintenance. The system had 5 320gb SATA disks in a RAID 5 setup. Not very fast, and it could only survive one disk failure.
Software-wise the machine had long exceeded what it was designed to do. It was originally designed as a game server, with some web and email. I had added several other services to it as I learned and played. Data was spilling out of its assigned slices. Symlinks were used strategically but it was still a mess. More >
ipHouse and World IPv6 day!
Jun 7th
World IPv6 day is June 8th, 2011 and ipHouse is ready!
What is IPv6 you ask? Well, that topic won’t be discussed in this posting as it has been discussed all over the Internet already. You can test your readiness by going to http://test-ipv6.com/ and checking your results.
This post is about what services are running IPv6 dual-stack on the ipHouse network today.
Many of our services have been operating in a dual-stack IPv4/IPv6 configuration since the middle of last year but since most connectivity is still only IPv4, most people would never see nor notice the IPv6 network capabilities we have already built into our network. Our network itself has been IPv4/IPv6 dual stack for what seems like forever with quite a few customers connected with native IPv6 connectivity via DSL, T1, metro-ethernet, and colocation.
