We’ll be conducting server upgrades Saturday February 2nd from 10pm – 8am CDT. During this window we will be moving our systems into the new blade server architecture with the following advantages:
High Density Blade Server Benefits:
Performance
• 20% more performance per watt then standard rack server architectures
Power
• We will be doubling our servers processing power
• We will be increasing the amount of memory on our server by 50%
Scalability
• Easy setup and with remote management
• Quick ramp up time for new services, capacity, and resources
Manageability
• Simplified network infrastructure, power management and cooling
• Hot swappable technology
Network Speeds in partnership with Cisco Systems
• 40GB uplink between blade edge and core switch
• 40X faster than most networks
• Removes network latency in delivering information
• 10GB network
• 10X faster than most networks
This process requires no action on your behalf, and once completed, all services will be restored.
