Roller NetworkEaton will be on site on Wednesday, February 23 at 08:30 local time to perform the annual inspection on our UPS system. No potentially intrusive actions will be taken. If any corrective maintenance is deemed necessary during the inspection, it will be deferred until an appropriate time.
UPDATE: The annual inspection was completed without any noted issues. All battery strings passed load testing.
We’re now including the serial console option for free on our dedicated servers. Previously this option was an additional $10, but we decided to just include it as a value added service rather than charge extra for it.
The serial console option allows access to BOIS and pre-boot settings, and in conjunction with a switched outlet (also included at no extra cost), provides a comprehensive suite of remote management options.
This Saturday, February 12, we will be upgrading our installation of Roundcube to version 0.5.1. In the past, Roundcube updates usually resulted in something breaking. We have done our best to test everything we were aware of from past upgrades, but if there are problems with this update, please let us know and we will attempt to correct them as quickly as possible.
If you would like to try it early go to: https://webmail.rollernet.us/roundcubemail-0.5.1-dep/
UPDATE: Roundcube 0.5.1 has been released on our webmail server. If you need to access the old version due to an uncaught bug, please report the bug to us and use https://webmail.rollernet.us/roundcube-old for the previous version.
For the month of February 2011 we’re offering free install (a $99 value) for all new colocations in shared space up to 10U. Shared space colocation includes:
All colocations include routed subnets: both IPv4 (/29 minimum) and IPv6 standard.
The final five IPv4 allocations go to:
102/8 AfriNIC 2011-02 whois.afrinic.net ALLOCATED 103/8 APNIC 2011-02 whois.apnic.net ALLOCATED 104/8 ARIN 2011-02 whois.arin.net ALLOCATED 179/8 LACNIC 2011-02 whois.lacnic.net ALLOCATED 185/8 RIPE NCC 2011-02 whois.ripe.net ALLOCATED
The Number Resource Organization (NRO) announced today that the free pool of available IPv4 addresses is now fully depleted. On Monday, January 31, the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) allocated two blocks of IPv4 address space to APNIC, the Regional Internet Registry (RIR) for the Asia Pacific region, which triggered a global policy to allocate the remaining IANA pool equally between the five RIRs. Today IANA allocated those blocks. This means that there are no longer any IPv4 addresses available for allocation from the IANA to the five RIRs.
