Debian mirror in Canada
Hi,
I am writing here to introduce our local Debian mirror which we would
like to subscribe to become an official Canadian mirror. The mirror
has been up-and-running since a few months now for our clients needs
in order to provide them with a very fast way to update their OS.
http://debian.iweb.ca/
The mirror architecture & servers are hosted in our datacenters which
are located in Montreal, Quebec. iWeb Technologies is amongst the Top
30 Canadian web hosts according to WebHosting.Info, iWeb offers a
series of hosting services to answer both individual and corporate
needs. We are currently hosting over 2500 dedicated servers without
counting all colocated servers and server racks.
We have built a fully redundant architecture based on ATA-over-
Ethernet technologies for it's storage nodes. The application node
(webserver, ftp server, etc..) also has a live backup server which
can replace the main node at anytime. The cluster is currently
hosted on a dedicated 100Mbps netowork port which is feeded on our
BGP network from providers such as Teleglobe (2x1Gbps), Videotron
(2x1Gbps), Peer1 (1Gbps) and Cogent (2x1Gbps).
The mirror is updated ever 4 hours from rsync://ftp.debian.org/ using
the anonftpsync and anonftpsync-non-US scripts.
We sync the following for ALL architectures:
debian/
debian-non-US/ (for versions prior to 3.1)
We also plan on mirroring ISO images depending on the bandwidth usage
of the mirror.
