We pride ourselves on the awesome stability of our machines. Our main
webserver is no exception. On 19 September 2002 it achieved the
milestone of two years (730 days) of continuous uptime. Our
machine was third on the longest uptime table at
"
The Linux Counter" -- that's third out of a total of over
100,000
Linux machines registered worldwide!
Note that, despite the so-called "obsolete" 486DX/100 hardware*, this
machine runs the latest production version of the Apache webserver
(currently
Apache/1.3.41 (TripleG Linux) with
PHP 4.4.9
).
Unfortunately this uptime streak was broken today, 22 October 2002. The local electricity
company dwandled in replacing a power pole down the street, and the extended area blackout
exceeded our UPS's limit. At 9.37 am the UPS's battery ran out, and the machine automatically
shut down. This left us high and dry on a 763 day (25 month) uptime record.
This machine* was previously restarted only because that same
UPS overloaded on 19 September 2000.
Prior 157- and 246-day uptimes confirm that this uptime is
no fluke. Interested readers may check the latest statistics at the bottom
of this page. Our machines have never been forced down for any reason
other than poor power supply.
That is the stability that
TripleG Systems
offers. That is the leading-edge software we work with.

* NOTE: The 486 that this article refers to
has now been replaced by a Celeron 500
as of 16 June 2004.
