The first Intel Atom based dedicated server hardware sample has arrived! This server has an 80GB hard drive, 1.6GHz single core processor (64bit with HyperThreading), and 2GB of RAM. We know it’s not too exciting to read a list of specs, so we have pictures. Click on the images for the full resolution version.

Domain Registration
We are occasionally asked if we can do domain registrations or transfers, and yes, we do offer domain registrations as a courtesy service although it’s not something we promote. If you’re interested in registering or transferring your domain name with us, please contact us for current registry prices. We can’t beat pricing of the big [...]
Verizon OC-12 Up, Construction Update
The Verizon OC-12 circuit is now up and running. They’re still working on provisioning the circuit and bringing the diverse links to the Overture up. From there we’ll take an Ethernet handoff.
We’re slightly behind schedule with the city of Reno taking two months to issue a permit for minor changes; we had expected to be [...]
Reseller Program Returns
We’ve finished the changes required to reactivate the reseller program and returned it to service. We added a few new options to it, most notably custom logo branding and administrative log in, but otherwise it’s pretty much unchanged on the surface.
System Maintenance Notice, ID#340
This is just a reminder that tomorrow (July 11, 2009) between 11:00 and 12:00 local time (UTC-8) we will be performing system maintenance on our master database server. During this time the account control center will be unavailable. No other services will be affected. For complete details and updates as it progresses, please see System [...]
Verizon Equipment #2
Not too much changed today. They added an Overture ISG5100 to the rack since we’re taking the handoff as Ethernet and moved the rectifiers to the top of the rack. It’s ridiculously cheaper to take Ethernet delivery even though it’s still a classic SONET circuit mere inches away. Silly telco tariffs.
Verizon Equipment
The Verizon equipment has arrived and been placed in the rack. Fiber splicing is also complete (as seen by the jumper on top of the fiber shelf completing the loop before the equipment can be inserted into the loop). The shelf is an Adtran OPTI-6100 MX. They’ll be back tomorrow to hook up the rectifier/inverter [...]
Verizon Arrives
We finally have the first signs of life for our new facility: the Verizon techs arrived to start the fiber installation process.
The armored fiber is laid out behind the building in preparation to be pulled through the conduit from the fiber entrance terminal to the rack in our suite.
The empty rack in our telco [...]
Welcome!
We’ve set this up as a better way of communicating with our customers (including the oft-requested RSS feed) and so we can easily post pictures of the progress on our new facility. Uploading images and linking them on the forums was cumbersome, and everyone seems to love blogs, so here we are. Enjoy!
