About this Web Server
The ACES WWW Server was placed on-line in April, 1993,
originally as a gopher server. As the WWW gained in popularity, we added our
first HTTP capabilities in April, 1994. In Sept, 1994, we upgraded our server's hardware
and added secondary HTTP server processes. In March, 1995, we added a backup server
which automatically "steps in" if our primary should suffer a major crash.
We also provide a number of resources for use by information providers with materials
based on our server system...
Usage Statistics:
Available from August, 1994.
Also, we have an idea which other pages are sending clients to our server. Check
out the BackWeb.
There are currently 116.40 mb of documents & images on-line.
The Hardware:
- IBM PS/2 90-0KF w/ 32mb RAM
- 2 MCA ethernet cards
- 2.4gb storage.
- 486DX2-66 PCI w/ 16mb RAM { the backup server }
- 1 SMC-Ultra ISA ethernet card
- 1.5gb storage.
The Software:

Our Plans:
We plan to expand our service capability by adding HTTP server
processes on several ancillary machines, and by distributing demand/load
among these machines.
