Our contract is due to expire mid July, so I am also seeking quotes from other companies to see what options are available. I mention this not so that you can all send me emails saying '..my mate Steve can do you a good price...'  , but more to keep you all up to date on what is happening behind the scenes. But if your name is Steve and you run a big ISP with spare capacity, I could be interested... !!! BTW, for the techies: a simple calculation (which I know isn't 100% correct) indicates that if we allocate 12Mbytes to each user, the current system can support just less than 20 users before memory is being swapped in/out. In the evenings we frequently exceed 50 users - hence the majority of the problems are seen in the evening session. |
Is the server supplied by the isp and they maintain it, or can you supply your own etc.
If so I have some server kit surplus to rquirements now, free to dsc if you want it. Mostly ML350/370 G2/3 DL 360/380 G3/4 with heaps of ram , disks etc. let me know if its of any use, otherwise it's going to get broken up for parts and recycling.
