After our latest purchase with Dell, all I can say is that Micheal Dell will be able to buy a nice new watch. Currently in the office we have a stack of new machines that are getting close to being fully configured ready for the move to the data center. If anyone is looking for a collocation facility in the Atlanta, Georgia area I would highly recommend Quality Tech. Quality Tech is the former E-Delta Com and have a really cool data center in Suwanee, which will be the home to our new boxes. We ended up with the following combination of servers:

7 – Poweredge 860

2 – LVS

Director, Slave configuration with hot failover for high-availability

2 – WWW
2 – NFS

Director, Slave configuration using hearbeat
Replicate Data in real time with DRBD to allow for hot failover
Will also serve web traffic at half of the ratio compared to the WWW boxes

1 – DEV

3 – Poweredge 2950

2 – DB (MySQL dual master configuration)
1 – Backup Master with alot of storage space

1 – Poweredge SC430

data set compilation, mostly sits idle

1 – Clone Machine

Old Backup server, will become backup slave
