 # Sample setup
 
 The current digilib setup at the MPIWG (as of December 2010):
 
-*   One frontend server running the lightweight web-multiplexer [pound](http://www.apsis.ch/pound/)
-            on port 80 that distributes requests to three servers runnning digilib
-*   the three servers run digilib under [Jetty](http://www.eclipse.org/jetty/) on port 8080 without Apache
-
-        *   one server is the frontend server (Linux 32bit, Dual
-                2.4GHz Xeon, 2GB RAM)
-    *   the other server is a separate, newer machine (Linux 64bit, Dual 1.8GHz
-                Opteron, 2GB RAM)
-    *   the third server is a separate, newer machine (Linux 32bit, Dual 2.8GHz
-                Xeon, 4GB RAM)
-*   the digilib instances (digilib 2.0b1 as of 12.12.2011) run on Jetty 8.0.4 on Java
-            1.6.0_26 with 1GB of [Java VM memory
-              for digilib](#vm_settings) (-Xmx1024m) with JAI (1.1.3) and JAI-ImageIO (1.1) [installed in the Jetty/lib/ext](#installing_jai)(!)
-*   both digilib servers access all image files over NFS (over GBit
-            Ethernet) from a central file server (Solaris 10, Sun Fire 240, multiple RAIDs
-            on Fibrechannel)
