Our Hardware

Just a quick note about the hardware we have here. We have a PowerMac G5 that is the server. It has dual 500 GB hard drives and is backed up with Retrospect to a VXA tape drive. We have a Freedom9 hardware firewall. Everything but the server is wireless with an Airport Extreme ("g") network with a couple of Airport Expresses to fill in the holes and tie in the printers. Most folks are on laptops--a mix of MBP CDs and C2Ds and one MacBook Air (a sweet machine--I can't wait until I need a new one so I can get a MBA)--although we do have a couple of iMacs (both Intel and PowerMac). We also have a couple of iBooks that serve as floaters in case someone needs a laptop.

For mobility, most folks have Treos, although we have a couple of Blackberrys and an iPhone 3G on the way for testing. We use Good to link them to our hosted exchange server, which works well.
