For our users that are into the Tech side of Chatro this week was interesting. We added another chatserver "cs12". We took a show with the 64 bit version of our chatserver operating system. It ran beautifully at 15 minute intervals so we immediately took it offline. It is being re-formatted and installed with the 32 bit version. Even so it will add speed, reliability and lots more fun. It will be returned to the 64bit version of the OS when the new server is running cluster wide so we will be able to utilize all of it's resources. Currently all of our web servers and dbase servers run on 64 bit versions of the *NIX OS flawlessly and with hardly any load.I'd love to include a screen shot of "top" on our web + dbase machines but that probably would give too much of a peek under our dress. Although the Chatropolis network is not large by most standards it does take a full rack at Peer1 and a catalyst switch. Since all new boxes have dual gigabit nic's we will be running a VPN for certain functions of the new chatserver. This week Peer1 also had a rather large failure they aren't going into detail about but it sounds like a multi router failure. Even so it hasn't really caused us any problems.
