contribs.org/smeserver.org currently runs on a 5 node hardware cluster with 18 xen domU instances hosting different aspects of the site.  Each node has a quad 2.6Ghz processor and 16GB ram.  All nodes connect back to a 13TB raid-6 + 1 spare iscsi box and is backed up daily to a 26TB AIT-3 library.  Critical parts of the cluster are also mirrored offsite to two different locations (mysql realtime sync, all other parts rsync every 12 hours).

I just ended up putting everything into a rack (used to be just sitting around my basement).  Thought you might enjoy seeing what contribs.org/smeserver.org is running on.



Edit: fixed typo

Hahahaha, Shad, look impressive! The bottom units are 3 UPS, but I can't identify the rest of units. I see 2 modems? at top, and 1 switch below them.

What are these 7 HP units?

Excellent

Wow that is a nice layout, I love how tidy it all is. 
Thank you Shad for looking after all of us.
