Moonkah Alerts

My aim here is to blog less, not more, given the unpleasant nature of the announcements about downtimes, server failures, etc. Think you see this as rather an adrenaline blog — and that’s what we’ve got plenty throughout these doag days.

Now here’s a piece of good news from the data centers, talking about uptimes:

We are also installing two new Ciscos to offload the routing duties from the core routers so they’ll just have to handle BGP. This set-up should be able to handle about 300% more traffic than our entire network now pushes at peak times!

Thanks to these network problems being resolved, we’ve also begun re-deploying in Alchemy, who at least didn’t have the second power outage.

We’re also still in the process of getting real UPS power on our network cabinet, plus our internal databases and a few internal servers. Basically, everything that keeps all the customer mail, web, database, and file servers from coming right back up quickly should there ever be another outage.
