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?)
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):
0) Squid proxy - this is the only server that is required for NY office network
- could be discontinued in the future
1) Sugar CRM / EA Demo server
- Sugar CRM app.
- This has been migrated to *.74 CT2 server in a cloud
Future solution
Servers and applications will be located / distributed as follows:
TBD
