Side 7's New Hardware
Posted: 16 Sep 2011, 03:21 PM

We have just received shipment of new server hardware for Side 7. This is a brand new, up-to-date, high-power machine. It will be replacing the existing servers very soon. We have a lot of configuration, installation, and migration work to do before this new machine is in place. However, once it is in place, it should really speed things up a lot.

You should not see any noticeable downtime during this time, and all data is secure and safe.

As usual, if you have any questions, you can always e-mail Side 7 at admin (at) side7 (dot) com, or post in the Side 7 forums.

That's great news! :)

I do have one question, could it maybe halp with the downloading time of the "delete pictures" page on my account? Remember when I asked why that part of the account page wouldn't completely come up.
Thanks!

There's a good chance that that will be improved, yes. Plus, with the redesign of the site coming (v5), pages like that will be vastly improved.

That's great, when is the upgrade of the new server hardware going to happen?

The new hardware is in and we're working on configuring it at this time. Once the necessary software packages and OS are finished being installed and configured, it'll move to the colo and run in parallel to the existing servers while we migrate over data. Then, the old servers will be decommissioned and the new server will take over full-time.

When we know the date of that switch-over, we'll announce it. :)

Was this intended for the "What feature you would like the most" thread? :D
And, can you elaborate on how you envision this working?

ok well I was thinking for example my gallery:
I would like to have folders for different subjects, like "cyprus" "other counries" "dragon isle" etc
a visitor can choose to visit those folders, OR browse my whole gallery

Yeah, that's what the custom Portfolios are for.

However, that entire system is being completely redesigned for v5.0.
