The SOSDG takes pride in operating our own data center located in Indiana, USA. This NOC features some of the newest and bleeding edge technologies, such as IPv6 and Xen virtualization.
Recently, we've migrated this location to a Xen virtualization platform, consolidating most of our servers into twin quad Intel Xeon rack mount systems loaded to the brim with resources. This setup allows us to dynamically allocate resources to different projects, as well as migrate servers on a moments notice should the need arise.
We've also designed a custom Linux router for our internet connection, giving us the ability to terminate VPN endpoints easily, as well as control access to the network using NetFilter, and diagnosis of issues relating to our dedicated Internet connections.
The backbone of our network is made up of Cisco switches.
