ATARI 520STFAt Out of Pluto, we name our servers after old Atari ST games. A quick review!

Here is a list of Atari ST games that were part of my childhood. I keep paying a tribute to them every time I connect using ssh to one of our servers!

  • silkworm (developed by Random Access) hosts our services and online tools.
  • swiv (aka Silkworm IV, developed by Random Access) is our development server.
  • starglider (developed by Argonaut) hosts some of our customers' services.
  • the sentinel (by Firebird) hosts some of our customers' services.
  • xenon (developed by the incredible Bitmap Brothers) hosts some of our customers' websites.
  • arkanoïd (developed by Imagine) is our backup server.
