Hardware description

In 1999 NIC.FUNET.FI became again a SUN server, just a slightly faster and bigger than the first one in the beginning of the 90s.

History:

The first server (1989-1995) was a SUN4/330 with few GB of disk. It was gradually upgraded to a Sun4/630MP-41 with (14-Feb-94) over 20GB GB archive disk space.

Another server was a Sun Sparc Server 10/31 with few GB of disk primarily used for archie and other databases and interactive services behind info.funet.fi. These services have been discontinued since almost everyone has a web browser and access to web based databases like ftpsearch.lycos.com

The second server was a DEC alphastation 3000/900 with 832MB of memory and around 200GB of disk mostly behind a HSZ40 RAID controller. Suomeksi on hieman tarkempikin kuvaus
