Hosted Machines
Since not everyone can bring systems to EMF, 8 pre-provisioned Dell WYSE 3030 systems are designed to be limited, but also as "Plug and Play" as possible.
The WYSE machines have a Intel Atom CPU of around 450 Passmark and 2GB of RAM. Storage is provided over the IX via ATA_over_Ethernet (AOE).
AOE is used to prevent people from iptables'es-ing away their storage, as this would be quite disadvantageous for any poor soul who does that. Instead the AOE Storage is provided by the IX server (on SSDs) in the flight case. Connected to the internet exchange at 10GbE.
These WYSE systems are entirely PXE booted over the network and while there is eMMC storage on them, We ask members to not touch that.
The original plan was for these machines to be 2007 Mac Mini's, However they proved impossible to purely netboot, and had already had their disks removed. So a switch to the WYSE machines provided a welcome sanity boost, and performance jump!
