"FreeBSD is in use at some of the highest traffic sites on the Internet and our customer needed the best throughput available," says Matt Olander, Offmyserver engineer. "The FreeBSD operating system delivered on all of Host Department's requirements including ease of administration, reliability, and security."
The first migration of the 20 systems happened one year ago, says Offmyserver production manager Austin Stewart, noting that the systems have been stable since.
Offmyserver?s migration was largely powered by dual Xeon mirrored SCSI systems. The backup server was one of the first systems larger than 4TB using the 3ware 9500 series card in production.
