The Tranquility server cluster is a powerful machine, enabling you to create the biggest living universe of science fiction with the most massive spaceship battles mankind has ever seen.
But you know what is even better than Tranquility? Tranquility Tech III!
Our engineers are working hard to fully revamp the server cluster with new hardware, with new storage, with new network connections, with a new location and new software. TQ Tech III will be much better than the already astonishing current TQ server.
Read more about this marvel of technology (including tech specs and pictures) in CCP Gun Show's latest blog Tranquility Tech III.
And all this is planned for very early 2016! EVE Forever!

I'm a super network geek....I really want to know what router, load balancer, and switch platforms you switched to since it sounds like you ditched Cisco.
Oh well, this is a great article and it's awesome to see just a glimpse of how all this infrastructure is designed to work together.
Thank you! |

I don't know that I'd say that they ditched Cisco, just that they ditched Cisco at the LB layer.
I'd imagine that they're probably using Cisco Nexus switches for the core switching, and beefy F5s (I'd guess Viprion over LTM, but...).
Definitely some good geek porn here for sure :D
I hope to GOD we're using ESXi 5.5... it's the hotness. |

This is absolutely fantastic. As someone who works in a Data Center, everything you said made perfect sense. However, not everyone has a clue what you're talking about.
I do have to ask, why not HP Blades? I laugh at the whopping 768GB of RAM, we've got Dell 2U Servers rolling 1TB of Physical Memory. As for WHY they need that amount, I'm clueless. They're probably running a Private Server of EVE and told no one. Darn those Goons ;)
Anyways, I'm impressed that CCP has actually taken the time to upgrade their hardware, and aren't like most of these companies who have the stance of "Oh, they want upgrades? But they keep shelling out money, and playing. So why should we care?"
Props to CCP, and for listening to Skalmold! It's my Friday Jams at work! |

Even better!! Most of the virtual environments that I manage are 5.5, looking to upgrade early next year, tho :D |

Did the old routers already or not (and if the latter; will the new ones) support IPv6? |

Awsome post! But with all those fancy acronyms and cool h/w you REALLY should consider the possibility that TQ T3 will go self-aware and obliterate all known life on earth...

Delicious, delicious tech filth.
I'll have a word with my boss about hopefully getting our servers updated to EXSi version 6... and goddamn what I would give to work there.

as a IT pro, from experience i can tell that high IO SQL DB running in M$ Failover cluster @ vmware is not the best choice, rather go SQL always on, more storage needed, agree, but failovers are much easier (and much faster).. and you can replicate more times eg active, replica 1, replica 2 etc, can use one of the replica for reads and dont bother with operations on active writting db .. only thing what can be problem is switching of listener between nodes during sudden HW crash or vmotion (MAC address conflict in vmware 5.0, hope they fix it in 6.0 while running vmotion on loaded hosts)
eventually switch to hyper-v (core preferably due patches), license is cheaper as esx(i), but the downside is, that hyper-v is with features at least two releases behind vmware (if you dont pay huge money for scvmm)
just my 5 cents, i assume you made the math already :-)
PS: really nice HW, just vendor is not one of my favorites :) |

I don't get this. The sentence make it sound like the SSDs have SAS disks build in :D That can't be right.

Likely it is a tiered system with 9 SSDs and 83 10k drives. |

I have fallen in love with ESXi 5.5 My windows boxes run better on 5.5 than on metal, that still amazes me. If I had a time machine and could go back in time and tell old me that win server runs better on ESX than on bare metal old me would call bull and refuse to believe time travelling me, but it's true. |
