DB Server And Web Server In Different Data Centers
DHas anyone got experience of having a web server and db server setup where the servers are in different datacenters? Is this a viable solution or would the performance of sites suffer too much due to the added latency? The only other problem I can think of is additional bandwith usage but that's not a major worry.
Reason I ask is beacause I've found and excellent deal for a DB server and would like to keep my current server for the front end..

Mega Web Server With Matching Data Center
Does anyone know the secret behind the server configuration of the big boys in hosting who offer as much as 1.5TB webspace and $15TB bandwidth or even unlimited for less than $10/month? I want to offer such a high webspace at less than $10/month too. I want to know the exact server configuration in terms of hard drives/accessories that can make this possible and very reliable data centers where I can co-locate the servers with unmetered bandwidth too. The estimated cost of the hard drives/accessories and any other associated costs should be stated clearly.Linux/Unix platforms preferred.The DC should be ready to do the configuration and the cost would not leave a serious dent on my financial resources.

Los Angeles Data Centers
I want to buy dedicated servers or colocated servers in Los Angeles data centers. I found 2 data centers: pacificrack.com and fastserv.com. I have no experience about them. If you know the datacenters in LA, could you review ? I choose LA because it's fast to Asia.

I/o Data Centers - Scottsdale AZ / Reviews
I've been looking for a descent DC in North Scottsdale, AZ near the airport and came accross i/o Data Centers. It's a 100K sq ft, Tier 4 facility. I believe they managed the Downtown Phoenix Technology Exchange before selling it recently and this is their 1st DC with more planned. www.iodatacenters.com Is anyone currently colocating there and could you comment on how things have gone so far with their services and DC and if you would recommend them? Pricing, cooling, how they are treating you? I like most of what I'm hearing from them but would be great to hear some real world experiences. I've tried a few DC's in Phoenix over the past few years but cooling has always been an issue with outdated cabinets.

Mass Move Of Servers Between Two Data Centers
Has anyone pulled off a mass server move during the middle of the night? We have decided 350 E Cermak is where we want to be but are still working out the details of where we want to be in the building. While the final details are being finished, I need to come up with some kind of plan to pull the move off with the least amount of downtime. Our current dc is about 4 miles away from 350 Cermak and we have approximately 50 servers to move. I plan on leaving a linux box around to redirect any traffic that is ignoring TTLs. I was thinking the best thing to do would be label and remove all harddrives, then see if a moving company could put the servers on palettes, wrap them, and move them to 350 E Cermak. Not sure if a moving company would work in the middle of the night or not. Courier services are pretty much out. Anytime we have had a courier service move anything not in a massive box with padding, it gets bent or broken.

Private Data Centers With FCC Satellite Uplink/downlink Connectivity
Does anyone know of a private Data Center with Satellite uplink/downlink connectivity in addition to Fiber? I know the government depends on them for military purposes, but I was wondering if anyone is aware of a private, FCC liscenced data center with the capability to transmite/host data via satellite in case of disasters, remoteness etc. It seems complimentary for a data center but I haven't heard of it. Is there any market research on this? What is a good source of information to find out about how many data centers there are, how much revenue they bring in, costs, etc? What is the data center bible?

Transferring Large Amounts Of Data From Server To Server
Recently I changed server providers, so now I'm looking for a way to transfer all the data to my new server. I have a total of 420GBs of files in my secondary HDD that need to be transferred. The old server is at a 10Mbps line, the new one is at a 100Mbps one. From old server, less than half the pipe is being actively used. So theoretically, I should be able to transfer it all in about a week. I tried 1) SCP. That was waaay too unreliable. And I couldn't get it to restart from the point left on whenever the transfer stopped (like when the servers were restarted). 2) Transfer using a web script. Way too slow, got to about 35GBs, total would take like 2 months. Is there any other, reliable way of transferring data from server to server?

Windows Media Server & Web Server
I have a company that wants to stream some live events via Windows Media Encoder/Windows Media Player. I believe the best route is to use a WMS, stream to the WMS, then the CDN would pull from there for events. Can someone help me explain a Windows Media Server versus a web server? Can you host web sites on a WMS? Is WMS just an extension to a regular Windows 2003 server?

Web Hosting On Same Server As Game Server
Does a typical LAMP setup for a high enough traffic site(s) take enough resources to affect the performance of a game server? (we'll say 1million page views per day) I'm speaking of say, 2MB of ram, dual xeon 2.8 type machine, with IDE drives. Nothing too fancy. 1 milion page views per day may be pushing it, so what about say, 200 per day? Just wondering if anyone has a setup like this and how it fairs out at the game server end. I'm thinking of moving my websites over to my game server + add more sites over time, but don't want it to lag the game. I know as a fact bandwidth would not be the issue, I'm thinking more ram/cpu. The game I host (Ultima Online) uses very little bandwidth with even 30+ people online. I use less then 1% of my link capacity at most times. I've seen it spike to 5% and that's most likely when I was downloading data.

Network Web Server And Database Server Together
I am going to setup our new database server (call it beta) in our data center. Previously we only had one server (call it alpha) which was web, email, ftp, dns, and database. Beta is taking over alphas database duties. We have a Sonicwall router/firewall as our main connection access point. I am trying to decicde if we should simply connect alpha and beta together locally via a gigabit crossover cable, or if I should connect beta into our sonicwall router/firewall. Beta does not need to be outside accessible at all. So if I connect beta to the sonicwall I simply would not open any ports. What do you guys think is best for performance and the overall right way to do it.

Media Server Or Web Server + NAS
I currently use a Dedicated Server: Quad Core, 8GB Ram, 3TB HDD as a Media server which streams video clips etc... on my websites. But Im moving my sites to a UK colo, I have been advised that its better to have Multiple Web Servers connected to a NAS / Storage Server? As I dont want to have multiple servers doing seperate jobs I want 1 cluster e.g. Web Servers + Load Balancers + Storage + SQL I Purchased a HP StorageWorks NAS 1200s 1TB LINK: [url] Will this do the job? Or should I use this as backup storage and get something else?

How To Setup A WEB Server Which Talks With DB A Server
I have been shooting away a lot of questions on these forums lately, but you guys have been very helpful. Thanks. My problem is this. We are going to get rackspace. Then we are going to purchase two servers. The first (WEB) is a httpd, dns, ftp, smtp, pop3 server. The second (DB) is purely a database server which will run mysql and mssql. The first server (WEB) runs a asp/php applications that need to connect and talk with the database (DB) server. I was thinking of only connection the WEB server to the physical internet through the co-location drop. Then connecting the WEB and DB server directly via a CAT6 cable. Both servers will have gigabit NIC cards. Then in theory in the asp/php applications all I have to do, is point them to the local ip address of the DB server as this should work. Is this a good solution? Will speed be an issue, the delay from talking to the WEB server and talking to the DB server? I was thinking this is more secure, because the WEB server is the only machine physically connected to the internet, the DB server is not. Though, is it true, if hackers compromise the web server, they then would be able to compromise the DB server as well via the WEB server? I am open to suggestions though, and better ways of setting this up.

Remote File Server And Web Server
I own a file hosting site. The site is powered by 2 servers - 1 front end web and database server, and 1 where all the files are stored. I'm facing a problem that uploading and downloading often failed. Connections to mysql would timeout. Has it to do with mysql settings or because the file server is located at a distance from the sql server? (my.cnf on the sql server) [mysqld] skip-locking skip-innodb max_user_connections=6000 max_connections=6000 datadir=/var/lib/mysql socket=/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock

Distributed Data Store For Web
I intend to store and serve files that is around 1-200mb from servers that is physically separate. I wish to store 2 or 3 copies of each file as a redundancy solution. When the file is requested I want to serve a direct downloadable link to the file. I am looking for logic to distribute load, and to detect if a server is down. I also whish to redistribute the files if a server is taken out of the pool.. Is there any open/free systems for this I can use?

Physically Erasing Data From Server
I'm moving some data over to another server and I want to wipe out everything on this server that I currently am using. There is some pretty sensitive information on it and I don't really want the datacenter to erase the data themselves. Is there a way I can do this using root? Also I gotta ask, does CentOS still archive deleted files like windows? If it does is it possible to also write a script that will fill up the hard drive with ones and zeros so that I can be certain that all the data is gone.

Getting Lots Of Data Off A Dedicated Server...
I have a project (using multiple servers) that has generated 3TB of data (compressed), with another .5TB or so each month, and the hard drives on my servers are very close to capacity. The data doesn't need to be accessible online, so I'm trying to find a low cost way to deal with this data. Keeping the data on dedicated server(s) raises the monthly cost every few months, which isn't good. Transferring that much data to my location via the Internet is costly and inconvenient. I'm thinking the best option would be to find a host that can ship hard drives to me, after I copy data over. Does anyone know if that is something that hosting companies are willing to do?

Recover Data From Crashed Server
I have a crashed HD that I want to recover the data. I wonder if there is any method or software out there that can do this for me. The hard drive is installed with centos and uses ext3 filesystem. I have tried doing a mount, not if it is done correctly, but I only see "lost+found" on the hard drive. Usually when this happens on my hard drive w/ windows, I use some data recovery software to extract the data. I don't know which software will do this for me on an ext3 filesystem running centos.

Server Abuse At Limestonenetwork And Data Restore
We have server in limestonenetwork for couple months, everything good until several abuse issues to our IP for several times recently. Based on instruction from Ryan A., Abuse Department Manager, I have suspend/terminate the suspected accounts in timely manner, each time there's abuse issue. But today surprisingly, they terminate our server immediately without prior notification. I fully understand that this is my fault not to watch our hosting client for abuse issues. I only need to get the data back for several hours so I can move the data to other server. Based on their tos limestonenetworks.com/service_info/tos.html I did not see any about temporary data restore so I think we still have right to get our data back. question is it true that I can not have my data back at all based on their tos ? since I can not find this matter mentioned on their tos.
