EveryNet and VPS Customers accessing the Net via the best routes

Posted on March 27, 2012 by richard

We have multiple links (> 3) to the Internet online at any one time and mainly that’s done for redundancy (so that if one “connectivity provider” goes down, there’s another running that can take all that traffic) but it also provides our diverse customer base with optimised routes (paths) to Internet sites and servers.
eg: Facebook, Microsoft, Google, Yahoo, many big local domestic ISPs (iiNet, Internode, TPG etc) and AARNet all reached via our Peering Links.

The ability for our customers to achieve “optimised routes” for content from the Internet is shown to us everyday, where our customers get to send data to the Internet, or receive data from the Internet, via our numerous Peering Links across Sydney and Canberra, or via our Internet Uplinks in Sydney and Canberra.

Our Canberra POP at the TransAct Data Centre also has multiple Internet Uplinks and is configured for maximum redundancy should it loose access to our Sydney POP (which delivers the bulk of the data used by customers serviced by our Canberra POP and includes many EveryNet ISP customers), then the Canberra POP can automatically fallback to using its own direct Internet and Peering Links to stay online.

Our ISP customers on EveryNet also get to benefit from our diverse paths to Internet content, as well as the uptime and high network QoS that comes from utilising Network Presence’ connectivity.

Whether it’s content serving or consumption (ie: VPS, Colo or ISP), we can provide you with excellent quality Internet and Australian connectivity, with large or even no data transfer quotes on some VPS and Colo Plans.

You choose your Private Cloud technology, we deploy it for you

Posted on March 25, 2012 by richard

The open-source Cloud Computing set of software has grown greatly over the last few years, to the point where we don’t want to be the ones that have to determine what cloud computing a customer would like to or needs to use.

So we “open the floor” to cloud computing customers who may want to use a particular type of open-source based cloud computing management or operations software.

Software like this includes; Eucalyptus, oVirt, Xen, KVM, other Hypervisors, Open Stack, Nimbula, Scalr, Open Nebula, and many others.

We started using Eucalyptus many years ago and it’s the underlying basis for some of our Cloud offerings, and we’ve used Xen, KVM and other Hypervisors for even longer and now we’re testing Open Stack and Scalr, with more to follow.

So if you have a Cloud rollout or deployment, and you want to use open-source software for managing and interfacing with your cloud infrastructure, then we can get that cloud software online for you, either on our hardware platforms, or on a dedicated colocated hardware in our racks in Sydney or Canberra, Australia, or remotely on your own hardware platforms where-ever they may be.

Pricing is flexible and variable depending on the software and hosting platform required, but we’re Open Source Experts and can deploy this capability quickly for you in any combination of hosting solution required.

Please feel free to contact us for more information or a firm quote on your cloud infrastructure requirements, regards,
Richard.

Upgrading to PHP 5.3 on CentOS 5.x Linux

Posted on March 21, 2012 by richard

Some of the earlier CentOS/RHEL version 5.x Linux distributions came with older PHP versions (like 5.1 etc) and many newer PHP based open-source software distributions (eg: latest WordPress) require the better and newer versions of PHP like 5.3 or higher, so here’s some quick commands to run as root on a CentOS 5.x operating system to upgrade its PHP version to 5.3.x
Do note that this does require installing the Fedora “EPEL” Repository to gain access to the newer PHP Packages.

First, shutdown any running software that’s using PHP, mostly this is the Web Server:

service httpd stop

Then due to nasty RPM dependencies (particularly if you have the frequently used ‘phpMyAdmin’ software installed), we recommend that you remove all currently installed PHP software packages, which can be identified and then removed with the following commands:

yum list installed | egrep ^php
yum remove php php-cli php-common php-gd php-ldap php-mbstring php-mcrypt php-mysql php-pdo

Then install the equivalent new PHP packages from the EPEL Repository, installing that Repo file first, with the following commands:

cd /usr/local/src
wget http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/5/i386/epel-release-5-4.noarch.rpm
rpm -i epel-release-5-4.noarch.rpm
yum install php53 php53-cli php53-common php53-gd php53-ldap php53-mbstring php53-mcrypt php53-mysql php53-pdo

All done, so now restart the Web Server (Apache in this example) with:

service httpd start

And check the Apache web server logs to see that it’s running Ok with the new PHP, eg: tail /var/log/httpd/error.log

FYI,
Richard.
