Update on Site Upgrades & Maintenance
Sorry for the recent site problems – last weekend we moved networks, and this weekend we moved hardware. But now that we’re on a new network and new hardware, the site should be much faster and more reliable!
Some details on the new hardware: we just bought a bunch of new servers:
- Database server – We bought a faster database with more RAM (72GB ram vs. 64gb with previous db).
- Photo Storage: The new photo storage has 128 terabytes of storage (vs. 75.6tb on the old system).
In addition to being faster and better, the new drives are also more reliable, have faster transfer speeds, and are also faster at reading/writing. Also: the new hardware is smaller and uses less electricity as well. All good developments for Xanga!
