The main site has now moved to a new server with a new Internet Service Provider, which is located at another physical location than the previous ISP.
This move took place around new years eve, but I decided to not post anything regarding the server-migration until it was complete and the new setup was deemed stable, which it is now.
The good aspect of the move is that we now are located on a more robust network with multiple and redundant Gigabit-connections to the Internet.
A description of the network looks something like this:
Internal Network
- Redundant carrier class Juniper routers
- Redundant Cisco 6509 (SUP720) distribution switches
- Cisco 2950/2960 series aggregation/customer layer switches
- 100% fiber internal backbone
- 100% network uptime SLA
Backbone Carriers
- Level(3) - Direct 2x GigE (2000mbit/sec)
- Savvis - Direct GigE (1000mbit/sec)
- AT&T - Direct GigE (1000mbit/sec)
- nLayer - Direct 2x GigE (2000mbit/sec)
- PCCW Global - Direct 3x GigE (3000mbit/sec)
- TeliaSonera - Direct 3x GigE (3000mbit/sec)
- Peering - Direct GigE (1000mbit/sec)
In other words: Good shit!
A negative aspect of the move is that after mentioned move we have seen an increase in traffic, which in it’s turn means that we need to invest in more hardware in order to be able to serve you the pages and material as fast as they should be served to you.
There will be more posted regarding how you can help out the site. As we believe in organic growth, anyone who decides to help will get something in return; you could call it a win-win situation.
Anywho, I hope that you’ll enjoy this new server and the increased stability and network-speed.
