- New VPS Servers - B747 and Blackbird
SilverRack is pleased to announce additional servers have been added to our growing infrastructure. We'd had great success since formally launching 10 months ago - we owe a big THANK YOU to our customers, past and present.
The first new server is named B747, as in Boeing 747. The 747 has always been a favorite airplane of mine. It's big, its stable, and it does it's job very well. This server has 2 Dual Core Intel Xeon 5030 2.66ghz chips and 8gb of RAM. As always, we use 3ware RAID cards in a RAID 1 configuration.
The next server is named Blackbird. This is after the SR-71 super-sonic spy plane popular in the cold war, which has since been retired. If you're ever in Utah, stop by the Hill Air force Museum to visit the current world record holder for a transcontinental US flight - a great looking Blackbird SR71. This server is equipped with 2 Intel Xeon Quad Core 5410 2.33ghz chips, 8gb of RAM, and as always, a 3ware RAID card.
As always, we never oversell or over commit our servers. Each VPS enjoys a fair-share CPU burst to 100%.
To celebrate the arrival of these servers, we've added a coupon code, "blackbird" (no quotes) good for $5 off the monthly price of any VPS plans. The $5 off will apply each month for as long as you have the VPS.Again, thank you again for helping make SilverRack a success.
