G7RAU

Server: This handles MySQL, DX Cluster, DNS, secondary firewall and this web site. Intel Xeon CPUs (80x 2.5GHz cores) cpu, 128Gb memory. 9tb SATA. OS: Linux Debian 9 using Mono to run Live MUF and Web MUF.

Internal network 1Gb throughout (using switches for duplex. This supplies the remote server with data and 1000s of data feeds to others who require the data)
Note that all the servers are hosted and maintained by myself. The personal cost to me in running this service freely is high, the server at home (rack server) costs £1.20 a day to run, the remote server 50p a day, fibre link £2 a day.
Latest hardware spend was £750 on the new server (Sept 2019) which should give Live MUF breathing space until 2022.
While I can afford to pay ~£28 per week I will continue to run this. Donations are of course very welcome to keep this running
