The Adrienne
Coles
Memorial Trust
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
