\nSubject: Server 63 Migration Notice Options<\/p>\n
Dear Customer,<\/p>\n
Due to ongoing problems with our relationship with the Superb Datacenter,
\nWe have made a choice to relocate all our
\naccounts from there to a new DataCenter.<\/p>\n
Why have we decided this? Well for many reasons. Whilst this is not
\nsomething that we have discussed in length on the
\nforums, we have noted a severe degradation in the performance of the
\nDatacenter support people. In addition we have noted
\na major slide in the network uptime. Furthermore, many of you will remember
\nthe issues we faced with all the power
\ndistribution problems. There were several hours of downtime due to issues
\nthat simply should never have happened. <\/p>\n
Furthermore, the Dell Servers we are running have a limit of 2GB of RAM.
\nThis is something we have been struggling with
\nfor some time. Another issue is the Operating System on the older servers.
\nMost of them are at End of Life and are due for
\na major in box upgrade. This could lead to several hours of downtime. <\/p>\n
This issue has just gotten steadily worse and we can no longer allow
\n our TotalChoice Hosting family to suffer through the issues.<\/p>\n
Now on to the biggest announcement ever made about our servers. <\/p>\n
We will be transferring all accounts from 18 servers to new fully data
\nredundant servers. No longer will we have
\ndowntime due to a failed drive. These servers will be running RAID 1 which
\nis a mirroring array of drives. If one fails,
\nwe simply pull the failed drive, replace it and rebuild the array. This is
\nmajor news for a budget hosting provider. <\/p>\n
What is RAID 1:
\nhttp:\/\/www.pcguide.com\/ref\/hdd\/perf\/raid\/levels\/singleLevel1-c.html<\/p>\n
Also these new servers will be running 160GB SATA high performance Disk
\nDrives. We shall see a 40% improvement in
\nread\/write speed on these new servers. Also, these servers will handle a
\ntotal of 18GB of RAM, a far improvement over the
\n2GB Dell’s. <\/p>\n
For the clients that have lived through some shaky times on these servers,
\nyour time has come. <\/p>\n
We have spared no expense in building up these new boxes. They are TOP
\nNOTCH servers. <\/p>\n
Supermicro SC733i-645 Chassis
\n Supermicro X6DVL-EG Dual Xeon Serverboard
\n 64BIT 2x Intel 2.8Ghz \/ 800FSB \/ 2MB cache \/ EM64T \/ HT enabled CPU’s
\n 2x 160GIG SATA HD
\n 3ware Escalade 8006-2LP RAID controller
\n 1x 160GIG SATA HD <\/p>\n
January 6th 2006 we will begin migration of all accounts on server 63, 77,
\n72, and 80. <\/p>\n
Your account resides on one of these servers so we wanted to inform you
\nwith as much lead time possible. <\/p>\n
If your account is on a dedicated IP we will be assigning it a dedicated IP
\non the new server. <\/p>\n
If your account has an SSL certificate we will ensure that it also gets
\npropagated to the new server.<\/p>\n
Please also note that if you are accessing the server VIA IP or use
\n the server name to update your sites in any fashion
\n the IP and servernames will also be changing:
\n Virtual\/Shared server names
\n serverxx.totalchoicehosting.com will become
\n server3xx.tchmachines.com<\/p>\n
If you are on a reseller server and use servername
\n the server name will change from
\n serverxx.snhdns.com to be
\n server3xx.snhdns.com<\/p>\n
We are sure that once the move has been completed and you settle in on this
\nnew server you will be very pleased with the
\nperformance and transfer to these new servers. <\/p>\n
Thank you for your assistance and support.<\/p>\n
