This question should be asked by anyone who has experienced some high latency and who wants to get rid of it. Do you care about a good server? You now have the opportunity to prove it not only by words. We’ve already done it, now it’s your turn, players. After an agreement with my cantor Ing. Petr Kropík, who recommended me a company with which he has long experience with the name Axes Computers s.r.o., I decided to pre-order a new crate for our server, which really needs better equipment so that it can easily handle as much as it was this weekend and over 800 players online. After a longer conversation with Mr. Jiří Blažek, an employee of the mentioned company, we have compiled a new device exactly for the needs of our server. His lineup is as follows:
Name of establishment - DELL™ PowerEdge™ T410
Bedna - PowerEdge T410 Tower Chassis
Memory - 8GB Memory for 1 CPU, DDR3, 1066MHz (4x2GB Dual Ranked RDIMMs)
Processor - Intel® Xeon® E5520, 2.26Ghz, 8M Cache, 5.86 GT/s QPI, Turbo, HT, 1066MHz Max Memory
Source - Redundant Power Supply (2 PSU) 580W
Remote startup tab - iDRAC6 Enterprise SM Card with VFlash
Hard Drives - (2ks) 300GB, SAS, 3.5-inch, 15K RPM Hard Drive
Warranty and service - 3 years warranty ProSupport for End Users and Next Business Day On-Site Service (up to the second day for three years in case of a fault)
TOTAL - 80 700,- CZK incl. VAT
The server in this configuration accommodates up to several thousand players online at the same time + sites and other server-dependent systems after deploying our modifications. This combination is most suitable for the needs of the server and we selected it with respect to each situation. If one source drops, the second one runs, if one hard drive drops, everything takes over the second one, without data loss or failure, etc. Hard drives are selected the fastest for loading and storing data. Everything controlled by me by remote control as before. Why do we need a new device? What are the advantages of the new device? Let's name them.
1) The server can hold several thousand players
2) After tuning, the lags should disappear completely
3) Deploying repairs will be up to several times faster
4 ) The server will start after the crash 70% faster
5) No more power outages due to power outage
6) Two independent disks with the same data => no losses
7) The latest technology will allow us to more options and expand other services (TS and others)
8) Very fast backups and other actions performed by the server
There’s more to come, but it’s up to you, the players. You ask what it is? I've listed what you'll get for it. Especially a good server. We also don’t get anything and we demand the same from the players. However, anyone who contributes an amount greater than or equal to CZK 500 (does not apply in the case of sending an amount of CZK 200, the next day CZK 300, etc.) will receive a figure, which will be specified in the message for the recipient Pandu. The others will be rewarded with another pet, which the GM team will still choose. However, there will be only one option. You can contribute to the account in the section Support us. Payments via SMS and others would not pay us, as operators keep up to 50% of the amount sent plus commissions and others. The only option is via PayPal or bank transfer. If the amount is not collected within a month, we will cancel the server and limit the maximum number of online and disable further registrations and use the selected amount to run the server. Now the server is in your hands. The server now has less than 1000 CZK. You can see the list of contributors in List of ContributorsWhich I will try to update regularly. Please be aware of the delay in sending the contribution, which can arrive on our account in three working days. Thank you to all who help the server and we hope for success. So I'm starting a collection on a new device. Thanks for your attention.
