Software
Hemlock is running a Debian Linux system. Its primary function is to host the main Apache webserver.

Nightshade is the login server and running Debian Linux. It has a Subversion daemon running, where users can put the source codes of their projects.

Willow is the new stable server running Solaris. It also contains a local MySQL database for user data.

Zedler and yarrow are running Solaris and contain the MySQL servers, which provide realtime copies of the Wikimedia databases.

Vandale runs Solaris with Sun Java System Web Server to provide several tools for toolserver users (e.g. a bug tracker and repository viewer) for which licenses were kindly donated by Atlassian Software Systems. It also contains the old stable server in a Solaris Zone.

Clematis is running Solaris and contains the MySQL text databases. It also has Hemlock's and Nightshade's /home which are using NFS.
