webmaster Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Hi all just a quick update we have carried out the first stage of the server upgrade and it is very impressive, there will be some more outages as we keep testing and migrating data to the new hardware. We will keep following up with more updates as we move forward more and then set the date for the migration to new hardware. Webmaster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

webmaster Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 Hi All the new solution is coming along very well. the speed of the new system is amazing just a little incite to the new solution it will be using all SSD drive cluster. with our tests so far with the SSD cluster bursting to 4000IOPS with still a heap in reserve, it was only loading up 1000 users at the same time so this new solution is so quick compared to now. Also at the same time of the move to the new system we will also be rolling out a couple of upgrades to the forum system. So the plan for next weekend is that the site will be offline from Saturday early morning till sometime either late Saturday night or Sunday morning.

The Incredible Hull Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 (edited) That's great news! And that's an awesome piece hardware you guys are implementing, At my workplace, I'm pretty sure they're still using IDE lol Keep up the good work!

webmaster Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 that is only half of the solution what is behind the server that is the beast, we can scale up to 12 cores and 128gig ram if we need to at anytime and within 3min of us needing it all with a flick of a button online.

Dalucius Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
webmaster Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 Hi All ok we will need to turn the site off late tonight as the backup will take about 3 hours to backup the whole server before the move so sometime late tonight we will turn the site of so we can make this important backup before the morning, we worked out that it will take to long if we wait till the morning to ensure the backup has run ok just in case we need to run it again.
