Info

0002738: (Servers and Apps) Discontinue all Linux servers in Valley S and migrate applications

Requirements and Solutions

Intro

Number of factors related to the elimination or scaling down server farm:

• President's strategic direction of "moving all NY servers into cloud" due to:
  • possibility of flood
  • lack of IT resources in house to support servers
• TBD

Disadvantages of elimination of servers:

• hire cost of hosting (if we need extra servers at hosting provider)

Potential compromise would be to leave one server in NY with some services/applications that:

• could be easily recovered on non NY server in case of flood or lack of support
• require no support from NY staff

Another option would be to have one Linux server that would run applications related to both CT2 development / production and to NY office internal IT needs (Squid, what else?)

Applications

Squid

• What: web filter
• Users: most NY office users (8-8 EST)
• Usage pattern: constant, all users will be down if app is down; most users have browser pointing to it for internet access

Door card DB

• What: users info about NY office main door access (not sure what is there)
• Users: michael.k@jaguarfreight.com (he is responsible for managing cards)
• Usage pattern: approx once a week

Sugar CRM

• What: CRM for Sales Dept (global)
• Users: All Jaguar Sales - sales@jaguarfreight.com

Chikei Ho; Harry Morgan; Janine Hines; Percy Kaye; Simon Kaye; Sylvia Jenkins; Vikesh Vithlani

• Users: All Jaguar Sales - sales@jaguarfreight.com and any client users during the scheduled demo and possibly after if salesman left them login info

• Users: CT2 Team plus MOs occasionally
• Usage pattern: 24x7 with heavy during:
  • NY: (8-20 EST)
  • Kiev: (2-19 EST)

CT2 Staging

• What: Staging version of CT2 for QA before release and bug investigation
• Users: CT2 Team plus MOs occasionally
• Usage pattern: most heavy before release or emergency release, could be used for bug investigation any day

SVN

• What: CT2 source code repository
• Users: CT2 Team, mostly Development Team
• Usage pattern: unknown

Mantis

• What: task and bug tracking system for CT2 and IT
• Users: CT2 Team, list could grow in the future
• Usage pattern: 24x7 with heavy during:
  • NY: (8-20 EST)
  • Kiev: (2-19 EST)
  • SF: ?
  • BKK:?

Wiki

• What: info repository for CT2 and IT (specs, etc)
• Users: CT2 Team plus MOs occasionally
• Usage pattern: 24x7 with heavy during:
  • NY: (8-20 EST)
  • Kiev: (2-19 EST)

Current NY based Linux servers and applications

These servers are part of NY office network. All of them run some kind of Linux.

See Jaguar Network diagram below:

Linux servers in NY office and list of apps/services running on them (as far as we know):

1) Squid proxy - this is the only server that is required for NY office network

• #Squid
  • could be discontinued in the future
• #Door card DB
  • could be migrated into simple xls (for Michael to manage)

Box: old PC

2) Sugar CRM / EA Demo server

• (old) Sugar CRM app - This has been migrated to *.74 CT2 server in a cloud
  • could be discontinued now
• EA Demo Apps - instances of internal and Client CT2 Apps for Sales
  • has to be migrated

Box: new Optiplex 330

3) Dev

• "Demo/QA" dev environment for QA and UAT (CT2 internal and client apps)

  • in active use

Box: new Optiplex 330

4) Dev Firewall

• firewall for Dev server

Box: old PC

5) Mantis

• Mantis App (old version)
  • not used, to be discontinued now
• Wiki App (old version)
  • not used, to be discontinued now
• SVN
  • in active use

Box: new Precision 390

  • used, not clear what exactly is there

Box: new Optiplex 330

7) Specs - video tutorial Dev Server

• not used, can be discontinued

Box: old PC

8) Test/Dev for Sugar CRM

• not used, can be discontinued

Box: old PC

Future solution

4 newer PCs as identified in previous section has to be re-used as user Desktops.

Servers and applications will be located / distributed as follows:
