With all this in mind, and considering I have numerous
retired systems
available, I'm looking for suggestions on which platform to use for which
purpose. Here is what I have active now:
SPARC IPC (Local DNS, intranet only).
SPARCClassic, 32MB RAM, 1 gig disk -- Web server.
Here are the machines I have available that have yet to be put to use.
--SPARC IPX with the Weitek PowerSPARC upgrade CPU, 32MB RAM.
--At least one, possibly two more SPARCClassics, 32MB RAM each (both under
consideration for mail servers).
--NEC RISCServer 2200, dual CPUs, 64MB RAM (Under consideration for taking
over as web server at a future point).
--Two MicroVAX 3's, 32MB RAM each.
--DEC 3000/600 Alpha system, 128MB RAM (under consideration as a future
workstation).
--VAXServer 3100, 16MB RAM (can possibly go to 24).
--VAXStation 3100/M38, 16MB RAM (can possibly go to 24).
--ApplicationDEC dual-CPU 486 system, 16MB RAM.
--DEC 5000/200 MIPS box, RAM unknown.
--Motorola MVME147 tower system, RAM unknown (at least 8, possibly 16MB),
under consideration for the "maintenance" node mentioned earlier.
I just hope that electricity is cheap in you area. ;-)
Just my 2 Watts.
