on this backup solution. How do they do the backups. If you`re a datacenter, are backups routed through the internal network through a central backup server or do you backup externally to their servers?
View 6 RepliesHow many of you out there really use or need private network?
if a private network really justifies the extra cost of switches and motherboards with dual-nics.
We currently have two dedicated servers connected to each other with a crossover cable, and each one also has its own external connection. One is running Server 2k3, one is running CentOS with cPanel. What we want to do is configure the so they can run backups to each other through the crossover cable, saving our bandwidth
On the windows machine we have configured it with a static IP of 192.168.0.1 and subnet of 255.255.255.0. This works fine and the machine is running well, on the cPanel machine, when configuring eth1, like so:
HWADDR=**:**:**:**:**:**
DEVICE=eth1
BOOTPROTO=none
ONBOOT=yes
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
IPADDR=192.168.0.2
USERCTL=no
the windows and cpanel machines can talk to each other fine through the crossover cable (pinging 192.168.0.1 + 2) but then the cPanel machine becomes unaccessable externally, i.e. ping requests time out and no websites on it can be hosted untill eth1 is disabled and the server rebooted.

I'm trying to setup a VPN server on windows 2003 standard. It suppose to work like this if configuration is correct: the server will have 20 static public IP addresses, each of my workstations will use one of the 20 IPs to connect to the server, then connect to the internet with the same IP it connects to the server. So if I do a IP lookup, each workstation will show a different public IP but the server will always assign the same IP to the same workstation.
Now all my workstations can connect to the server with any of the IPs I have, and they can surf the internet with no problems at all. However, if I do a IP lookup, every workstation shows the same pubilc IP which is totally not what I wanted. I have searched google and not much useful infor come up. Can any of the experts here help me out?
In previous posts in this forum I was talking about having each server have an internal and external network connection but people point out that as they were load balanced it was a bad setup
I am now looking at setting up a VPN to access the internal servers that are load balanced. Does and one have any recommendations for good tutorials or sorftware that I can use on debian?
The Swedish parliament just passed a law mandating all information passing the Swedish borders to be copied to the government (no kidding). We wish to offer people VPN tunnels out of the country to protect their communication and therefore need:
* A location with good connectivity with Sweden (like somewhere in Europe)
* A location where traffic is not normally routed through Sweden (such as Finland)
* Lots of bandwidth
* Many IP addresses
* No storage space
* Linux
Where to turn for something like that?

View 7 Replies View RelatedIs their any threat or possible problems in using a common private subnet in the data center which will be used for internal communications (Backup Network, etc.) connected to a private internal network.
Example if we use a block such as 10.10.10.x/24 or 192.168.0.x/24 which has a high possibility of being used on many clients LAN's or should we use something totally obscure such as 10.12.15.x/24 or is this not even an issue and simply using anything which is labeled for private use in the RFC's fine?
I current have a VPS hosted with a host who rent racks from Gyron.net at Telstra Londong Hosting Center Datacenter (Docklands) and im very satisfied with the network but im looking to change hosts, so im looking to find hosting companies that also rent racks/network from Gyron.net.
So does anyone knows hosting companies that rent space/racks/network from Gyron.net?
I'm looking for a host located in UK that can accept/support vpn/tunnel connections to the VPS - creation and access to vps' /dev/net/tun (TAP/TUN device) for use with tunneling services like vtun.
I am currently a customer of webhosting.uk.com, they look very good host but unfortunately they dont accept or support vpn on their VPS plans.
The bigger the list of hosts supporting vpn, the best.
Maybe hosts of other european countries too, if connection speed is acceptable.

Is there a colo provider that has a free private network for use between their locations, similar to what SL has for their dedicated servers between facilities? They have 10GigE between their locations, with free unlimited usage.
We have around 40 servers now, and colo would really make sense, but we are doing multicasting stuff so we really need a backend network to support our services, as well as many locations for better delivery quality.

I am currently with the planet and am happy with them, however as part of a new venture I need to gather a list of hosts as well as the planet that will be able to cater to the ventures needs and go to tender with the requirements.
ThePlanet offer something called a virtual rack. This is cheaper than renting a dedicated rack, allows for Gb networking but doesnt not allow for a SAN. Do other providers offer something similar? The cost of putting a machine on the virtual rack is not that much more expensive than just renting the machine. I guess there isn't too much to these set-ups to be fair.
If not, then we are looking for dedicated racks, with the ability to host a SAN at some point, but starting off with say 3 servers (2 web servers, 1 storage server with raid5 6Tb of hdd). These servers will be dealing with network cameras although I don't think that many will be streaming at once but the network capacity does need to be there.
Who's door should I be knocking on to find out some prices?
One final thing, should I bother looking for co-lo providers as well? We are in the Uk but not precious about our host being in the same country at all (it would be nice but uk prices are ££). Really, all we would be able to do with co-lo is buy the hardware outright to save price as we are not interested in looking after the hardware.
Can anyone recommend a provider/reseller either in the UK or US?
View 6 Replies View RelatedLooking for advice on a solid R1Soft setup.
I'm currently looking at this SAS Expander:
[url]
Looking to load it with 16 x 500GB WD Green drives with two spares on hand. Not sure which RAID level, RAID 5,10,50,60
No matter what I use with that many drives I get huge capacity. This is the controller card I was looking at using as well for the direct attachment:
Adaptec 2228800-R PCI Express SATA / SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) 5445 Kit Controller Card
I was going to use a Dell PE 860 to bring it all together. What are your thoughts, opinions, suggestions for a proper or recommended R1Soft setup?
where is the place to get backups utilizing R1Soft.
Something we are looking at and wondering as to what would be the best companie/s to have your backups at.
R1Soft is a backup “solution” aimed at companies that want to backup only the changes that have been made since the last time a backup was created. Its a good idea, but it went horribly wrong. I am writing about it today because it was such a poor experience working with them and we had so many server problems and REPEATED DATA LOSS that I felt compelled to warn other hosting companies and customers about this extremely poor product.
R1soft caused enormous I/O load that literally killed our servers off and on multiple occasions simply would not restore our data and caused 100% data loss on the servers we had “backed up”.
MAJOR TECHNICAL DEFICIENCIES AND OPERATIONAL ISSUES WITH R1SOFT -
1) Buagent (Their software that records what has changed) is a HUGE i/o pig. It constantly blocks on I/O when there are changes causing every other drive or array in our system to lag while it catches up. R1soft told me it “works great” and to send them over details and they would “Look into it”.
2) Buserver (Their software that writes what has changed) is INCREDIBLY slow in every way that it is virtually unusable when you have a lot of data to back up with tens of thousands block changes every day per server. Clearly it hasn’t been tested well under sustained and real heavy load - at least in my opinion. There are multiple kernel and userspace methods to speed this up, but again it falls flat on its face when trying to keep up with our load.
3) Restores are buggy and VERY unreliable. We have attempted more than 20 restores (whole partitions) and had more than 30% be a complete failure, meaning TOTAL data loss. Doing user level restores were the same story - incomplete backups, unreliable and SLOW restores.
4) R1soft support is lackluster to say the least. When I complained they said, “You only opened 17 tickets in the last 60 days.” 17 tickets? Often when we had issues doing a restore or other problems we would call and get no one to answer the phone. Its comforting to know that when you can’t do a restore for 500 clients that we can possibly talk to someone on Monday who will blow us off and tell us that the newest version of the software MIGHT fix our issue. In the meantime they apologized for losing all our data over and over again. Wonderful.
5) The software is based on filesystem block changes. The problem is that the kernel and ext3 and reiser are changing all the time. As we made updates it constantly broke R1soft. When they would finally fix the problem it usually required us to reseed the entire backup again losing everything that we had previously backed up and putting enormous load on the server again while it started over from scratch
In all my years of hosting I have never had such a bad experience with a “partner” company as R1soft.
Just thought I would let other potential customers and hosting companies know my experience.
