FTP Mirror Upgrade
We've been pushing the capacity of our current FTP disk arrays for quite some time now. Luckily, we were able to get enough funding to purchase new arrays for our three FTP servers. This will double our current disk space from 3TB each server up to 6TB.
This is very exciting because it'll relieve a lot of the stress on our end of limiting our mirrors to very specific content. It also means we can finally start mirroring all of the stuff we've been really wanting to provide mirrors for but just never had the space! As much as I wish this meant we could mirror everything under the sun, we'll still have to be pretty strict about setting up mirroring for new projects. The new disks will at least give us some much needing breathing room!
Below is a picture of the new arrays (on the left), and all the new disks to fill them (on the right). For those that are interested in the specifics, each FTP server will get two HP StorageWorks 70 disk arrays, with each array holding 25 2.5" 146GB SAS drives.
