System Re-Organisation

A reorganisation of this system is being carried out. The system consists of two subsystems. The first subsystem is the commercially supplied website that came with the provision of the mail server. The second subsystem is a local webserver running on the domestic Internet connection.

The difference between the two system are:

(1) The commercial system has high reliability and redundancy. The local system has no redundancy and does not have high reliability as it does not have a UPS to protect the Internet connection and the server.

(2) The commercial system has high bandwidth to the Internet, while the local system us limited by the current domestic ISP plan. Currently about 50 ~ 100 Mbps total for the household.

(3) The commercial system has limits on the disk storage and the amount of data transfer included. THe ,local system does not have defined storage limits or transfer limits.
.
(4) The commercial system uses part of its data allowance when the website is update. The local system uses local file transfers without incurring data usage.

(5) The commercial system infrastructure is professionally manager. The local infrastructure is not professionally managed.

Based on these factors, the commercial site will be used to hold static high value, low volume information. The local webserver will hold highly variable data such as development documentation., high volume data such as databases holding sensor readings, as well as videos and magazine libraries. This means that the development documentation and database contents will be available locally even if the Internet fails, b ut it does mean that this data will lack the availability and speed of the commercial system.
