New addition to the AGL Host Network

We announced last week that we will be introducing a new web server to the AGL-Host network. Today we are very pleased to announce that the new server is now live. To help spread the load, we have moved several clients over to the new web server. – we have also moved our main site agl-host.co.uk over to the new server!

When a new server comes online it is always traditional to give the server a name, this is used to help identify the server on our network. The new web server we have decided to name Marvin. The name Marvin is taken from the manic depressant computer from the hitchhikers guide to the galaxy series.

About Marvin.

For those of you with geeky tendencies, here is some of the techy info of the new server and its connection.

As with our other web servers, marvin runs on a linux distribution with cPanel installed. The server is a Dell PowerEdge box with dual Nehalem CPUs (16 Hypertheaded cores). The server features a RAID-10 disk array which enables fault tolerance. The latest DDR3 ram sticks are also installed.

The connection speed ..

As with our other web servers, marvin runs on a Gigabit uplink with a guaranteed 20mbit connection.

So far so good ..

Marvin seems at home with at AGL Host, the server load at the moment is nice and low, not having gone above 1.0. Over the coming weeks we are expecting all web hosting orders will be installed on marvin.
