Due to the current gap in continued funding from the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF), the NSF Unidata Program Center has temporarily paused most operations. See NSF Unidata Pause in Most Operations for details.
We plan to shut this server down by the end of this calendar year. That server turns 10 in a few months, and we're starting to be a little surprised it still boots. If I told you the specs of the server, you'd die of laughing. If you've got an ALLOW on that server now, I'm moving you over to our shiny, new 24-core monster (with gigabit dedicated) in Albany, NY...all powered by Niagara falls. That being said, if Tampa allows you, I'll reach out to you over the next few weeks and give you the new server details. (And we're planning to add more as well as replace the one in Tampa.) If you don't know what I'm talking about but need some lightweight backup lines for non-bandwidth heavy feeds, let me know. We can probably accommodate you. Just reply to me directly. We do have some room for backup ALLOW entries for NEXRAD2, but first we have to satisfy some reciprocity, so it will take some calculation to see many of those we can afford. Current plan is to add a gigabit server in Los Angeles in the next month or two, then something central after that (Dallas or Chicago, possibly Denver). All our servers will be interconnected, and an ALLOW on one is an ALLOW on them all, so that keeps things simple. Regards, Evan
