to use the virtual console, need Javaws (iced-tea works), and change of Java security configuration.
Machine tasks
- They will be deployed as our new backup servers
- One of them will stay on-site, sync with server clusters in real-time
- The other one will be deployed off-site (Thank you [TRS] for negotiation), sync with the on-site server at night
- The twin Dells will be constructed as identical for easier debug/recovery
