  2. The Server / Desktop Divide Servers General Purpose Unix Server VMS Server Mail Server Web Server NTServer Unix Workstation NT PC NTPC NT PC NT PC Desktops HEPSYSMAN 2001

  3. Status • General Setup remains the same with NT PC’s on the Desktop and Various UNIX/VMS/NT servers in the Computer Room. • Super Janet 4 connection: 622Mbs (limited by Firewall to 100Mbs )Campus backbone: Gigabit EthernetDepartment Connected: 100Mbs Internal Physics : 10 /100Mbs switched • Server Strategy - Heavy use of remote compute farms, Local CPU will be provided by Intel Linux systems. Digital Unix systems and legacy VMS systems. HEPSYSMAN 2001

  4. Network Access Super Janet 4 Just upgraded to 622Mb/s; OUCS firewall to be upgraded to 1Gbps speed shortly Physics Backbone Switch 100Mb/s Physics Firewall OUCS Firewall 100Mb/s 100Mb/s Backbone Edge Router 1Gb/s 100Mb/s Campus Backbone Router 100Mb/s 1Gb/s depts Backbone Edge Router depts 100Mb/s depts 100Mb/s depts HEPSYSMAN 2001

  7. Linux pplx1 Fermi 6.1.1 pplx2 RH6.1 ppnt109 RH6.1 pplx3 RH6.1 Treat Linux as just another Unix and hence a server OS to be managed centrally. Wish to avoid badly managed desktop PC’s running Linux. Servers GENERAL RAL Linux Farm Porting Machine MINOS Linux/NT DAQ SNO Linux CPU Server CDF Linux (Dual 400MHz PII) Unix Workstation NT PC NTPC NT PC NT PC Desktops HEPSYSMAN 2001

  8. Plans and Concerns • Look to replace local compute server with RAID Disk Server and Linux CPU servers. Disk server could be Intel based running NT or Linux but if performance is not sufficient a proprietary solution may be used. • Experience gained with CDF distributed data store will help plan LHC requirements. • Choice of OS/platforms for computation. Clear that this will be Red Hat Linux • All new Windows servers run windows 2000. Windows2000 just starting to appear on the desktop. • cost of software licensing • MAN POWER HEPSYSMAN 2001
