Description
B4 was purchased for a rediculously small sum (less than 200 euro, someone who knows exactly can fill this in) from the Dell warehouse auction, after the Dell plant in Limerick closed. It's being used as a replacement management server, replacing Sprout (which in turn replaced welmar last year, and was never particularly good at...er...running).
Services
- Serial consoles for things-that-support-serial-access
- Gateway to the management network
- Nagios
- VPN tunnel to Severus, which lives in the CSD server room in the library.
