Prototype servers are on ISDA's colocation rack. Prototypes are designed to crash and burn so IPS selected a very generic namespace to avoid the overhead of requesting new names from server operations on a regular basis.
First Part | Second Part | Third Part |
|---|---|---|
real: for hostnames of actual server hardware | proto: this is always the second part of the name | alpha, beta, etc: greek alphabet in order real machine is added to farm or VM is created. |
virt: for hostnames of virtual operating systems |
|
|
The Result: Names in the form "real - proto - alpha" or "virt - proto - omega."
Naming Convention Notes for Hostnames
...
** The previous convention was to use the department name in this spot, such as ISDA. However, these change often, but product or project names change less often. Also note that Athena servers are generally maintained by Server Operations, which has their own naming scheme and set of host organization policies.
