I'm back after a while away. I was reading the VCF site and saw the stuff about the production environment (the rack with modern computing equipment which I assume is hosting the website, etc.). I'm curious about this. Was it discussed on-list, or anywhere else publicly accessible? I'd like to read about it. I tried searching the archive but didn't see it.
Welcome back. VCFed.org is professionally hosted. Currently, the internal IT in our museum consists of the following: - The server in our museum rack (1u Supermicro running Linux) mainly hosts content for information kiosks. We anticipate it also hosting audio/video, etc. at a later date. - A second server in there, which started life as a small PC, is for hosting a dial-in BBS one day. It runs bare-metal DOS on a CF card configured as an SSD. - The rack also has a Minuteman UPS, two Cisco switches, and a patch panel. One of these days we'll get around to finishing all the cabling. - In addition there's a standalone KVM and an APC/Schneider console. - We installed a Cisco AP (PoE) on the ceiling. - Office-task PC dual boots into Windows 7 and Linux (the default). - LTE modem for Internet access. - To be installed: four PoE security cameras.
