A1 Webserver & Storage
« on: February 02, 2003, 09:33:37 PM »
Hello
I had received replies from several major webhosting companies, and all of them REFUSED to use AmigaOne, because of several reason:

1. WHAT IS AMIGA ONE?
2. Not familiar .
3. Difficult to find components / spare parts.
4. Difficult maintenance.
5. Reliability  
6. Impossible to replace parts without turning off the computer.
7. Storage problem & Disk controller cards.
8. CURSES! (ie: Gateway, Soros, Kouri etc)

The main problem is the storage (multi Terabytes):

A. Is there any Linux PowerPC SCSI or Fiber Channel driver for A1?
B. Does A1 need a special SCSI card with PowerPC BIOS on the card?
C. Is there any Linux PPC support for RAID and Multiple Channels card?
D. What is the maximum hard disk capacity?
E. What is the best hard disk size and number of hard disk for optimal performance?

Thank's

Terrasoft

Hello
I found the PERFECT webhosting company for AmigaOne: Terrasoft.

1. They create Yellow Dog Linux for PowerPC.
2. They create Blacklab Linux Cluster software.
3. They also create "almost similar" PowerPC ATX board based on Articia chipset.
4. They also re-selling TotalImpact Briq PowerPC products.

Is it possible to replace their ATX boards (600 MHz G3) on the Linux cluster with Dual G4 AmigaOne boards (1.4 GHz)?

Is it possible to increase their bandwidth to 10 Gbps?
