EnderZone Hardware:

Hitting 100 users online in our first week connected, I knew I would need new servers fast. Because I just had a normal job, and usage of the network was (and still is) 100% free, the network did not get a server upgrade for quite awhile. Switching from Windows 2000 Advance Server to Freebsd 4.6 saved me some time and made the network faster for all the users. (see software below).
The first server was an Iwill dual p3.
Next came the main server thats still used today: Dual AMD MP 2800+ on a Tyan motherboard
The network then quickly expanded: Pre-KSD
And the network is now owned by our hosting company Keys Systems Development and has been growing ever since: Keys Systems Development Rack Images
Finaly today Keys Systems Development - namely KSD Host, and all the EnderZone network is now in the NAP of the Americas DataCenter and Chicago DataCenters

EnderZone Software:

At around 2000 users concurrent on the bnet server, and 22 people playing Counter-Strike 24/7 I switched from Windows to FreeBSD 4.6 and never looked back. Here is some other software we use:

EnderZone History:

This network was built from the ground up as a hobbie project, starting with 1 dual p3 server back in 2000. The server was built as an expermental perment game server for our local lan partys in Key Largo, FL. Having spent all my savings on a server that was 10x faster than the desktop i used to play games, i naturaly spent more time learning server-software than actually playing (Plus i wasn't very good at FPS games). This was right at the time WarCraft III BETA was opened and everyone at our lan party wanted to play it very badly. Unfortunaly no one was accepted into the beta. During my quest for server software in my spare time i learned about bnetd and was going to run a Diablo II server with its software. Considering Diablo II is a Blizzard game i thought maybe they would have something for WarCraft III BETA also. I quickly found PvPGN and setup a working WC3 BETA server. I then spent the rest of the lan party figuring out the insides and out of the software while everyone else at the lan party was getting better at WC3 BETA. When that famous lan party was finaly over I took my WC3 BETA server home, cracked it to allow razor retail copys to play (before the game was out in stores) and gave it a public IP address, and this network was born.
