There are two Bytemark servers, the first of which I don't know the story, the second of which is donated by Bytemark care of Neil Bowers:
* cpantesters3.dh.bytemark.co.uk <http://cpantesters3.dh.bytemark.co.uk/> is 1x Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E3-1231 v3 @ 3.40GHz / 32G memory and has about 1.5TB of hard disk space as the previous database host. This runs the legacy bits that I haven't been able to shut down yet. At last years summit I finally got it below a 12 load average by giving up on perfect backwards compatibility and moving almost all of the web app to... * cpantesters4.dh.bytemark.co.uk <http://cpantesters4.dh.bytemark.co.uk/> is 1x Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-4160 CPU @ 3.60GHz / 8G memory and has about an 80G hard drive. This is serving most of the web application these days. Then there are two ServerCentral servers, both of which are nominally in the hands of Joel Berger (as he still works there): * The current primary database is 2x Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5620 @ 2.40GHz / 32G memory with a 2TB hard drive about 75% full of the database data * The backup database is 2x Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5620 @ 2.40GHz / 16G memory, and I can't find the hard drives so it's not actually backing up anything. Will have to ask Joel to get someone to open the rack and fiddle with it. Finally, there's the monitoring system that I'm hosting: * status.cpantesters.org <http://status.cpantesters.org/> is a VPS with 1 core and 1 GB memory with a 40G hard drive running InfluxDB, telegraf, and Grafana.
