Planned Maintenance: Server Upgrade
 
FYI

At 22:0023:00 CST tonight, the server is getting some more RAM added and a kernel upgrade. This should speed up the site and stop it from crashing and sending me 1500 emails every 2 minutes.

The site shouldn't be down for more than an hour while they upgrade us, I would hope.

Thank you Brandon. I have seen plenty of page load errors and slow page loads.

This is a great community we have here. I don't believe that FIRST would be as successful as it is without Chief Delphi. This is where we all hang out. We learn here, we share here. We grow here. Without this community, we would all be on our own. Belonging to this community makes all of us stronger.

By the way, I'm just curious, who is your host?

Thanks Brandon, I wondered what was up.

PS Mike - I think the big letters severly cramp the bandwidth. :rolleyes:

From Brandon's original post, it sounds like they are running their own server.

I'd say this guy's a bit biased...but at the same time, he's totally right.

Folks in Greenville, can tomorrow be Give Brandon a High-Five Day?

We have a dedicated server through SoftLayer (formerly The Planet).

Brandon and crew does the FIRST community a tremendous service. As the program has grown, the capabilities have struggled to keep pace.

Not all of what is required to maintain CD is without cost.

Please show your appreciation and DONATE to CD!

Keep the voice of FIRST strong!!

ONE server? what would it take to add more? Looks to me like traffic has exceeded what it can handle several times so far this season. Or is it a bandwidth problem? or both?

I would look into adding redundancy into the mix, though I also don't know what finances are, which could limit the expansion options. Even a simple CDN would go a long way. The RAM should be sufficient, though, if it's just a simple issue of running out of memory.

I'm sure Brandon knows what he's doing. ;) If he needs help, I trust he'll let us know.
