So what powers RhianBlock.com?

Posted at March 22, 2004 09:13 AM in Computer Tech .

If you know me, then you know I have had RhianBlock.com for many years. On it, I have provided several services to my fellow graduates of high school and college and to various friends all over the place.

Originally all of my servers were located at 1003 East Baltimore Pike in Media, PA. They resided in the old Y100 building called the Cloverleaf. Deep in the depths of the basement sat my tech nerd rack with 4 servers, 2 UPSSsss, 2 remote Multitech dial up RAS authenication boxes, and a couple of Netgear switches. If you remember Y100 ever doing the RV Survivor stunt on the air, my servers basically powered the webcam that was installed in the RV for listeners to check-in on the contestants. I am trying to find a screen capture I had of the stunt!
After Y100 moved in with 1039thebeat into the facilities in Conshohocken, PA on River Road all of my gear moved there. And I mean all of it. With a full T-1 my servers provided access to my site as well as about 10 other websites and related services. Today my servers are scattered in a couple of different locations.

One of my systems termed solar.vazoom.com is located in Bucks County, PA

Another server is located in Aston, PA right off of Mount Road. Orbit.vazoom.com is a Dell Poweredge 2450 fully loaded.

My primary system and the one which is running all of this crazy SQL powered stuff is located in Havertown, PA. It is also a Dell Poweredge system fully loaded with goodies. The system is protected with Sonicwall equipment.
