Ruby & Ruby on Rails now supported!

Level-five Research now supports Ruby & Ruby on Rails on our Hosting cluster. Rails is a full-stack framework for developing database-backed web applications according to the Model-View-Control pattern. From the Ajax in the view, to the request and response in the controller, to the domain model wrapping the database, Rails gives you a pure-Ruby development environment. To go live, all you need to add is a database and a web server :-)

10Gigabit Ethernet switching just got better

The ES5508 is a 8 port 10Gigabit Ethernet Layer 2/4 switch. It offers 8 ports of Full Duplex 10Gigabit Ethernet and is ideal for bandwidth-hungy backbone or server farm applications. The ES5508 offers a switching fabric performance of 160 Gbps, while also supporting advanced network management features including: spanning tree protocol, GVRP for VLAN configuration, SNMP, RMON and web management.

The ES5508 switch offers industry leading 10Gigabit performance while incorporating advanced Security features such as ACLs, RADIUS, TACACS+, SSH, HTTPS/SSL, and IEE 802.1x authenticated port security.

The Switch supports enhanced reliability via an optional 19inch Redundant Power Supply unit. This unit can supply redundant power to four ES series Switches from the one unit. A DC power connection links upto 4 ES switches from the redundant master unit. If the power supply fails or Mains supply fails in any one of the 4 connected switches, then the Redundant link cuts in immediately.
