Runs the non-vital services that used to run on [[Boole]]. Might get used for other stuff as well. Same hardware as [[Boole]]
Same basic Dell Optiplex 780 Quad-Core hardware as [[Bell]] (more detailed hardware configuration there) and now has a nice SSD to use.


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


Runs zone minder, see below.
* [[Equipment/The_Beast| The Beast Video Game Arcade System]] - emulation, display and control management.
* Provide redundant fun and joy to those who play with The Beast

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.
 
The card is one of these (or a clone):
