The &os; Cluster Administration Team consists of the people + responsible for administering the machines that the project + relies on for its distributed work and communications to be + synchronised.

+ +

Our primary cluster has been hosted as a guest in California + for many years. Our ongoing project is relocating the core + functionality to a location in New Jersey with a formal + hosting arrangement. This is an equipment refresh, + consolidation for better use of resources, and for better + continuity of service.

+ +

There is a significant amount of behind-the-scenes work to + make this happen. The original cluster was implemented with + a common, shared, assumed-to-be secure network with + ubiquitous NFS everywhere. This structure does not lend + itself well to being distributed across geographically + diverse locations, particularly when Internet transit is + required. The bulk of the work is rebuilding services to be + portable, stand-alone components that do not depend on + shared-network access and are safe enough to use across the + insecure Internet.
