[Connotea-code-devel] Connotea downtime Sunday 21st of December, 21.00 GMT, 16.00 EST, new hardware.

[Mulvany, I. <i.m...@na...>]

Well, after installing Connotea on our new hardware and testing it this
week, we are going to transition the main site over to the new machines on
Sunday.

We will be putting the service into read only mode for a while, and then the
site will be down for a few moments as we switch over.

If the transition goes smoothly we will be back up with a much improved
performance.

I know we have been having major problems over the last two months, but the
new hardware has significantly more memory and so the query bottlenecks that
we have been experiencing should ease off. It may take us a little while in
the new year to get the most optimal server settings, but the new horsepower
should help from the get go.
