Hi,
We are a UK based consultancy specialising in Linux, security, cloud and virtual infrastructure. We have 14 years experience of this which involves running our own hosting company and doing these sorts of projects on a regular basis. In short, this is exactly the sort of work we specialise in.
We LOVE the Raspberry Pi and have used it for many projects such as...
- A Stratum 1 time server using a GPS module to receive an accurate time signal.
- A true random number generator using a USB radio tuned to static to feed entropy to Linux.
- We use one to run a TV in our office to display any issues with the hundreds of servers we monitor and maintain.
- We also use one to run a shared music service for those of us in the office. Anyone can add songs to and control the music. The music is also paused whenever any of our (VoIP) office phones ring.
- We've also used them as webservers, mailservers, Wi-Fi hotspots and other more out of the box solutions.
I run an apprenticeship for our new members of staff and each new employee gets a Raspberry Pi to play with :-)
We should point out that a bit of research shows that a Raspberry Pi would only be able to analyse a picture per 10-13 seconds. You don't define where these Jpeg's are coming from or how quickly.
I hope that gives you all the information you need.
Please shout if you have any questions.
Regards,
Dan Benton
