I’ve ordered ‘the book’ on Tomcat 6 from Amazon, to “tick all the boxes” on a large production Tomcat cluster that I’m running.
I’ve seen some amazing Tomcat performance, most good, some bad and made the config updates req’d to increase Tomcat content serving throughput.
This Tomcat knowledge has certainly helped in running many JVM based Minecraft VPS for GamingAU.net on Network Presence.
So if you have a large Tomcat or Java (JVM) engine requirement, please do contact us.

It’s SaaS, but we know it as Sysadmin as a Service! http://t.co/6H31BeP To help you get the most from your #NetPres VPS!
I’ve been commissioned by a ‘stealth-mode’ Startup to code, deploy & host (at scale) a Ruby on Rails app & site. Very exciting.. #NetPres
I’ve done a bit of development around Cassandra this year, after having read the book on it (http://www.amazon.com/Cassandra-Definitive-Guide-Eben-Hewitt/dp/1449390412/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1312331422&sr=8-1) and then using it to store our NetFlow data for a week or so earlier in 2011.
So I found this “grok Cassandra’s datamodel” post to be a good refresher & reminder about the capabilities & nature of Cassandra, particularly as a replacement (in a ‘NoSQL’ context, which is how I trialled Cassandra) for MySQL & such.
Out of my Cassandra works came the “Cassandra Appliance” VPS Plan of Network Presence as well, so if you’re interested in a Cassandra dev/test or production server, please feel free to contact me.

Freeside is an online billing and accounting system for ISPs and other online businesses.
We’ve created a “VPS Appliance” Plan which provides you with a customised but fully installed & operational Freeside system!
This was an “interesting” VPS build, requiring a lot of open-source software distributions to be installed, in sequence and with much configuration required.
This is the recently released Freeside version 2.3.0 and includes an integrated RT (Request Tracker) system as well.
Please contact us if you’d like any more information about this Freeside Appliance VPS.
Regards,
Richard.
We’ve been steadily focussing on upgrades for the various critical components of our VPS services, with many CPU, Ram & Disk capacity upgrades done. Now we’re adding to our ‘Big Disk’ capabilities with ‘Fast Disk’, by making available SSD backed (ie: SSD drives) storage available to some VPS Plans, and as an upgrade for existing customers who may want the fastest disk speeds available (currently being SSD disks online in Sydney).
Of course, we’re using the ‘server’ type of SSD (SLC) disks, and we’re mirroring them with write & read distribution across the SSD disk arrays.
These new SSD & High-Performance Storage VPS Plans will be released soon in August 2011, and I’ll update this post when their publicly available but if you’re interested, please do contact us for pricing and custom orders.
