Runs the non-vital services that used to run on [[Boole]]. Might get used for other stuff as well. Same hardware as [[Boole]]
Same hardware as [[Bell]] (more detailed hardware configuration there)


Runs the local LDAP server. The LDAP db is replicated from [[Turing]].
Running the following services:


Runs zone minder, see below.

* Local [[LDAP]] services replicated from [[Turing]].
* ZoneMinder CCTV recording from legacy analogue cameras (b/w & colour) - possibly feeding into [[Bruce]] (the new ZoneMinder server)

Has an 8 port video capture card in it. It's currently connected to the 3 yard cameras and the rear lobby camera. The other 4 inputs are disabled until we put more cameras up.
Denning has a full height 8-port PCI video capture card installed to digitise the analogue cameras.


The card is one of these (or a clone):
The card is currently connected to the 3 yard cameras and the rear lobby camera. The other 4 inputs are disabled until we put more cameras up.

This might just about work with all 8 inputs, we may have to drop the resolution to 360 x 288
This might just about work with all 8 inputs, however, we may have to drop the resolution to 360 x 288 - realistically this may never happen as we have been opting to install IP cameras in the space - superior images and no complicated capture cards for image acquisition.

Has only a single mechanical harddrive so vulnerable to data loss.
Currently has only a single mechanical hard drive so vulnerable to data loss. There is space for a second hard drive if we want to mirror the drive.
