We are upgrading some fundamental virtualization software at our data centers. Our testing shows startup times are an order of magnitude faster, and benchmark tests show at least a 3x improvement in most cpu and disk related operations.
We will be migrating all our hosted sites to the new servers, and will contact our hosted customers as needed if there will be downtime. None of this is required or urgent, just an improvement in your server operations. No changes will be required on your end.
Last year we also upgraded all our servers to SSD (solid state storage) instead of old “spinning disk on a spindle” (HDD) drives and enhanced memory. This software-based upgrade will provide even greater optimizations.
If you are a self-hosted customer and wish to move to our hosted data centers to take advantage of our ongoing security checks, daily backups, high performance SSD storage and high-speed network please contact us for assistance.
