FIN 3.0 Initial Deployment Plan

Posted on January 29th, 2008 in FaxIt Nice by declanshanaghy


I’ve started writing the initial deployment plan for FaxIt Nice 3.0. The webapp deployment itself should be pretty straightforward. We’ve already done it a million times on our staging server. Where things get complicated is making sure the distributed filesystem, FaxIt By Email, XML-RPC interface and DNS transfer to the new hosts all play nicely together in the new environment.

Setting up a SAN

Posted on January 27th, 2008 in Bits 'n' Bobs by declanshanaghy

Right off the bat this SAN will host data files for FaxIt Nice. Possible expansion in the future may include e-mail and mysql storage but thats not a priority for now. Also because FaxIt Nice is a distributed application the filesystem will also need to support multiple initiators on each LUN. This immediately brings to mind Redhat Global Filesystem (GFS)
Our most likely OS will be Cent OS 5, as that is what i have decided to migrate to for all our servers in the future.

Long live the new blog

Posted on January 25th, 2008 in News by declanshanaghy

I’ve moved the FaxIt Nice category from my own blog to here. It makes more sense to have this stuff in a blog dedicated to 350 Nice activity rather than on my own personal space.

Received Faxes Distribution Problem

Dear Members,

The distribution problem has been fixed, all corrupted faxes have been resent and the original charges to your account have been voided. We hope you had a productive day despite this upset.

Sincerely,
