BoR – Beer over Rails

Published July 28th, 2011 by Davy Jones

At Anchor, we have recently acquired shiny new APC Power rails! This means that we now have a whole bunch of metered APC power rails in the office, which we no longer need.

If you have read this blog before, you will understand how much our SysAdmins love beer. This is why we have come to a company-wide consensus that we will swap our power rails for beer! Let us know if you have some decent beer and we can trade you a power rail! (APC Model: AP7852)

Contact us at 1300 883 979 or support@anchor.com.au – Get in fast, first in, first served! (We are parched!)

Lots of rails

Geographically Redundant DNS is now available

Published July 20th, 2011 by Keiran Holloway

Up until recently we’ve done all DNS hosting locally in Australia on our multi-homed network.

Historically, this has been more than satisfactory for the vast majority of our clients. When the DNS is, for the most part, only pointing to other hosts on your own network then there isn’t a huge amount of gain from having DNS servers on the other side of the world pointing all the records back to the Australian hosts on the Anchor network.

In recent times this has changed somewhat with us getting involved in the remote management of hosting services around the world. With that in mind, announcing our US-based authoritative nameserver:

ns3.anchor.net.au

This host is being provided in addition to our existing name servers (ns1.anchor.net.au & ns2.anchor.net.au) and is available for all clients at no additional cost. We would encourage that all clients who have services hosted on networks remote from our primary point of presence in Sydney add this to their DNS configuration immediately.

Any questions? Please do not hesitate to get in contact with our support team via support@anchor.com.au or 1300 883 979.
