Saxperience Essential Maintenance - Mon 21/May/2007 1am

[Markp]

Saxperience is growing faster than ever, and even though we only moved to a new dedicated server on 12/Sep/2006 (see Saxperience Essential Maintenance - Downtime!) and it has been doing a valiant job keeping up with the increasing demand, the server has been showing signs of strain at peak times.

We always strive to ensure that your enjoyment of Saxperience is as trouble free as possible, and like most people we don't want to be caught without enough power to get us out of trouble... so we're going to upgrade to a significantly more powerful server!

A couple of specs for the techies out there (you know who you are):
- 2 x AMD Opteron Dual-Core Processors
- 4GB RAM
- 2 x 250GB HDD

Inevitably, this means that there will be some downtime while the migration takes place.

The Saxperience Web site will be offline after 1am on Monday 21st May 2007.

Any downtime will be kept to a minimum and should hopefully be no more than a couple of hours (and you'll all be in bed probably anyway)

Any questions or concerns please locate your friendly local moderator.


Edit: I forgot to add that this migration will also affect the Premium member email services. Undelivered messages will be held in a queue until service is restored.
