The old anchor (e3800 sun sparc) server was powered off today, at approximately 1:30pm.

It had been running since the new anchor server was deployed in Nov/07, in order to remain accessible in case there were "transition / migration issues". The old anchor had a "secret" IP address but was accessible to POLAN systems admin staff.

Since the machine has been idle for virtually all of this time, and there are no outstanding needs for the old anchor server, it has been powered off.

It is estimated that the old hardware will be removed physically from the POLAN server room next month sometime, to free up space for new equipment.
