Browsing COPA 2.0 gives you no hint about how it really works. COPA 2.0 operating environment includes several important pieces: the application, software environment, hardware and the physical location where all this happens. Butting all the pieces together has been an interesting journey.
COPA 2.0 runs on an application called CommunityServer. CommunityServer is a platform for creating social networks. CommunityServer operates on a Microsoft.NET 2.0 platform.
The data repository for CommunityServer is Microsoft SQL Server.
COPA is running on a pair of dedicated Dell PowerEdge 1950III servers. These servers have a Quad Core Intel® Xeon® E5420, 2x6MB Cache, 2.5GHz, 1333MHz processor. Each server is configured with 4GB of memory. One server runs CommunityServer application and one server runs SQL database.
The servers are located at FiberCloud in Bellingham, Washington in a Class A data center near the west coast terminus of the Canadian fiber backbone and directly on the US west coast fiber. These are fast servers hooked directly to the fiber.
