[TriEmbed] speed bump (up) for our server Fwd: QTH.com Server Maintenance Notification :: www14.qth.com

[Pete Soper]

This upgrade msg is about the server that hosts the TriEmbed web site 
and email list being switched to solid state disks. It's a 2x4-core 
(2.2ghz) Xeon box at Rackspace in southern Michigan running RHEL, in 
case anybody's curious. This change should be pretty sweet for Wordpress 
and Mailman performance.

PS I've been with this ISP for exactly 15 years and can count the hours 
of unplanned down time I've experienced using the fingers of one hand 
after an amputation. But the first several years were spent on a Sun 
Solaris server, so that helped set the bar at the right height. :-)

Hi Pete,

We will be performing a server upgrade on our our www14.qth.com server tonight starting at 2AM CDT (Wed morning Mar 18th). The server will be offline for approximately one hour.

The upgrade consists of installing a Hardware RAID Array of Solid State Drives (SSDs). All MySQL Databases and most logging functions, which often keep the hard drives busy, will now be located on the SSD Raid Array. This will significantly improve disk read/writes for all users, thus speeding up most server functions.

Should you notice any problems or have any questions, feel free to contact us and we will gladly assist. You may reply to this email, or open a Help Desk ticket or use our Live Chat system at https://billing.qth.com/support.php.

Thank you for your business and continued support. It is truly appreciated!

- Scott
