What is the World's Fastest Server?
The World's Fastest Server is hard to categorize because nothing like this has ever been done before. The short answer is that The World's Fastest server is an advanced web server built into a fully electric drag bike. The more technical answer is that The World's Fastest Server is a load balanced and virtualized web server that utilizes 2.5GHz Intel Core 2 Quad processors, 4GB of memory, 3G wireless integration, SQL Server on it's own virtual machine, data collection for bike activity such as speed and RPM and GPS integration. The chassis for the servers is a fully electric drag bike with a Netgain WarP 9 Impulse electric motor that produces approximately 70 horsepower and 116 foot pounds of torque. When the bike is in action, multiple video cameras will stream live video to the server for everyone around the world to see.
Why build The World's Fastest Server?
Because we can! Web hosting and Drag bikes are two things that are not usually associated with each other. A project like this requires a team of people with some very specific skills who are not normally coworkers. We have a group of individuals, that when brought together form the perfect team to build The World's Fastest Server. We have specialists in server architecture, application development, wireless networking and every other field that is required to build high end hosting. On top of that, we have a Master Bike Builder who has the skills and resources to build a world class drag bike. And don't think we brought him in as a ringer. He worked for HostMySite.com before The World's Fastest Server was even a concept and has many years of technical background as well. So again, the reason we are building The World's Fastest server is because we can. Our Executive Producer Rob Cassidy may have summed it up best. “Putting high-end server infrastructure on an electric drag bike has never been done, sounded like fun, and we have a team capable of doing it. We simply wanted to create the World’s Fastest Server.”
