New Servers


Look at our new rack of servers. This year we have gone over the top with redudancy

For tech geeks only past this point!:

We have two servers running both with Raid 1.

They will identical servers mirroring each other. The database will be replicated between the two servers real-time and if either machine goes offline the tournament will continue un-interrupted.

The database is also backed up in time intervals between both servers. In case of data corruption (unlikely) a checkpoint can be restored loosing only a few minutes of data.

On top of all that, we have even another server for spare parts in case both the first two go down.

This is in addition to our already redudant kiosk systems and redudant score entry systems. Should prove to be a very bullet proof system.
