GigaTux is proud to announce that its new server, a replacement for our first server, has been built and is now in action with five live VPS customers. This has been in testing since the end of November 2009 and is proving to be an incredibly reliable server with amazing performance (e.g. hard drive speeds well in excess of 200MB/sec!)
The specifications of this server are as follows:
- 1 x Intel Xeon E5520 (similar to a Core i7 920) - a second CPU will be added at a later date.
- 12GB DDR3 ECC RAM - upgradable to 48GB
- 4 x 1.5TB hard drives in RAID 10
- Space for 2 x 2.5" hard drives which may be SSDs in the future
We are running Debian Lenny with an extremely reliable OpenSUSE kernel that supports Xen dom0.
Now that the new server is in place and performing as expected, GigaTux has updated all prices on its VPS packages offering huge discounts. Please check out our VPS page for more information.
