Bigmite Web Server Configuration
O.S.
Debian Linux with all security patches applied, regular security checks and DOS checks performed.
Kernel
Version 2.4 customised and optimised to our specific needs.
Filing system
We also use the latest ReiserFS filing system which reduces the risk of filing system corruption and provides faster disk access. Our disks employ hardware mirroring and monitoring to provide redundancy on a per machine basis and increase disk performance.
High Availability
All of our software packages are configured as part of a redundant array of servers (see the Linux high availability website). Any machine can be removed from the server array without affecting the operation of our hosting services.
