[rescue] New Origin 3400 in Ottawa

[Patrick Giagnocavo]

What I always thought was special about those systems was that they were single-system-image.

What we have now in serversis not that, instead we have a bunch of loaded up Linux boxes but they don't talk to each other any differently (aside from speed) than machines did in 1990.

Cheers

Patrick

Very nice, it appears to have 6x 36 GB drives and 20 (5x four CPU modules) and
a butt-load of network interfaces.

If it wasn't in a foreign country and likely has serious power requirements,
it could be a tempting Purchase... then again, this is really just a big
server, nothing particularly special about this - is there?
