Our infrastructure is built on approximately 30 Debian servers, supporting 800 internal users and serving approximately 1,5 millions internet users daily. We utilize a standard Debian configuration, incorporating key services like load balancers, mail services, DNS, ftp servers, web servers, Tomcat, Mysql, etc. This robust platform enables us to develop and deploy our own applications and web services.
Debian offers several critical benefits. Its stability minimizes downtime, its straightforward configuration simplifies maintenance, and its efficient resource utilization allows us to optimize hardware investments. While we regularly upgrade our hardware, we still have systems running reliably on hardware from more than 7 years. We prioritize performance, recognizing that it's a function of both the operating system and the applications we run on it.
We also value Debian's independence as a community-driven distribution, ensuring we're not tied to a single vendor. The large and active Debian community provides exceptional support and resources.
