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
- 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
- Usage pattern: approx once a week
Sugar CRM

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 app
- 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
- "Staging" dev environment for pere-release QA (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
6) Ext
- backups for Dev server apps (anything else?)
- 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:
TBD
