Server Stack
Our facility houses nearly 30 computers that include 2 high-end workstations and 5 high-speed high capacity double firewalled servers(below) that contain 40TB of dynamic drive space and an additional 60TB of backup storage for archiving and automated nightly backups for all computers throughout the MSP-SF (including all MS instruments).
- Primary fileserver: (30TB of drive space, 32 GB RAM, 2 . AMD 3.1 GHz 8 Core processors)
- Unix application server: powered by an Oracle Database (64 GB RAM, 2 . AMD 2.6GHz 12 Core processors)
- Primary domain controller: for our network (2 GB RAM, 1 . Intel 2.00 GHZ Dual Core processor)
- Secondary fileserver: (4 GB RAM, 2 . Intel 2.00 GHz Dual Core Processors)
- Application server: (32 GB RAM, 2 . AMD 2.2GHZ 12 Core processors)
The primary fileserver is also dynamically linked to a 2000 node Cluster - UAB Shared High Performance Computing Facility. (https://docs.uabgrid.uab.edu/wiki/Resources)
