What kind of server does WOW run on?

I am curious what kind of servers operate the WOW services. Is it a UNIVAC 1106 or something a little more modern?

Lot’s of them, I’m assuming, since they have multiple data centres. We even have one down here in Oz, in Sydney. Though ours I think is an Atari…

You mean like an Atari XE or an Atari 2600?

I narrowed down my search for WOW cloud but I no longer believe a cloud of WOW is possible. I am now researching the servertype of WOW in order to understand the networking and try to get a job at BLIZ.

Maybe ask them? Since they vacancies in Engineering & Technology, it probably wouldn’t be an issue if you asked them what sort of technical knowhow they are after.

Ask who, ION?

They have a careers tab down at the bottom of the page. You could also try emailing them and talk about potential positions at their company.

I don’t think blizz realizes they have to eventually replace the hamsters. Even the dead need rest.

I am very familiar with IBM Token Ring networks.
