OSA Election site upgrade
The venerable online election site moves to new hardware
the old OSA election server
Since our campus' early pre-Plone days almost lost in the mists of time, i.e. 2006, we have been running the OSA elections online using Plone.
The server which used to run that election site, among others (including the survey1 and imsss.net sites), was originally scrounged from decommissioned hardware. Why was that hardware decommissioned? Because it was no longer considered fast enough... yet it was free (as in "beer"). Free is good, and it ran the sites well enough.
Last week we completed a move to a new virtual server, thanks to Academic Computing. The new virtual server is oodles faster, and all the sites on it run very snappily now. The old beast will shortly be turned off, thus delaying for a while yet the need for a new nuclear power plant (and probably dropping the ambient temperature in the server room).
Anyone need a (somewhat large) paperweight?
