WorldsAway Development Hardware
Machine Name Machine Purpose Notes
akasha This seems to have been a staging area for new

client and server builds of the WorldsAway

software.

John Onusko's workstation.
a-tuin The main production server that hosted the dreamscape,

hallway/hotel and pride.

eridu Possibly Chris Parry/laotzu's workstation.
excelsior Not sure if this was for WorldsAway,

or an internal Fujitsu Software Corporation

server.

goblin A pager email gateway.
ishtar Potentially a mail server.
kirk A server used by the QA team for testing. Usually used for QA testing, it was also used as a backup machine

if a-tuin was down for more than three hours. This was a red-line

option to be considered in case of catastrophic hardware failure on

a-tuin, not for 'routine' machine lock-ups.

kosh Possibly David Petersons workstation.
loki
morpheus A world building machine that went into production in mid 1997.
mugwump Possibly David Eves workstation.
snoopy
terra
vishnu A production server that later became a billing server

in mid 1997.
