So right now we are preparing for a BIG move...

Don't worry, it's not quite time for a big change to Drupal... YET...

No this move is even bigger. We are moving everything from New Jersey to New York!

Well, all the servers and sites at least.

So next week we will begin installing the newest equipment we have in the new Datacenter on Staten Island. While we are primarily doing this move for costs, our physical security will be upgraded heavily in this move (not that it was insecure before).

So next week we install the new equipment and get the environment setup. Then we start moving over the primary site/sites as we can. Once we have done that, we will move the rest of the equipment and the rest of the ancillary sites, and equipment.

When everything is said and done, we will be gaining a performance upgrade out of this move, new security, faster bandwidth, and better peering options.

Oh, and reduced operating costs :)

So starting possibly Monday, but probably tuesday it is possible you may see some small outages or possibly periods where the site it "up" but in read-only mode. We are hoping for no extended downtimes with this move, and we have made our plans accordingly, but please be wear, shit happens...
