Welcome to FTP mirror.garr.it service.


GARR is funding an ftp-mirror archive. The overall capacity is now about 27 Terabytes total, distributed in two locations of its network.
The architecture includes two different SANs for the two sites hosting the mirror servers:

  • Milano site: Two Raidtec's FibreArray eXtreme SAN Storage Arrays (16 hot swappable FC disks of 146Gbyte each). This SAN is connected to mirror3.mirror.garr.it.
  • Roma site: February 2010: the old JBOD was substited with a new one with 26 x 1TB SATA-II disk. Until February 2010: Xyratex JBOD 48, with 48 x 500Gbyte SATA-II disks, for a total of about 24Terabyte. Two servers are connected through two distinct FC RAID controllers, with double FC host NIC to enhance availability: mirror1.mirror.garr.it, mirror2.mirror.garr.it.

    The service is opened to 350 ftp users , 300-500 http requests each,  in the current configuration:

    Various aspects of the service are monitored:

    Check out the online HTTP statistics.
    Check the service health status (bb) (UP/DOWN/history).
    Take a look at the servers' activity in real time, via MRTG or collectd.
