Merlin

Merlin is the Trust's server, and runs a variety of databases and other web-accessible services. The need for a dedicated server became apparent when ACMT's databases became the largest ones on NIP's main web server, and were becoming very noticeable.

Merlin did not in fact cost the trust anything; Simon bought most of the base components and the rest was scavenged from other machines within NIP.

For curious, Merlin's technical specifications are:

  • Dual Pentium III 450MHz processors
  • 512MB of RAM
  • 2 x 4GB SCSI Hard Drives
  • Red Hat Linux 6.1 with patches
  • A variety of web application servers, all fronted by Apache
