We’ve been working hard behind the scenes on the server upgrades we announced previously.

Here’s an update:

Server 04 has been fully upgraded to a new Dual Core Dual Opteron server platform and is now fully part of our new server fleet. We have renamed svr04 “Kant”, in honour of the influential thinker.

We are now 65% through upgrades to server 06. Some accounts will be transferred onto “Kant” and some will be transferred to the new server “Plato”. Your nameservers will not need to change and there will be no expected downtime as a result of these changes.

Finally, we will move on to the last remaining “old school” server (although, hardly old-school since it is a dual Xeon platform!) which is server 08. Server 08 will be reborn as “Hume” and is also a Dual Core Dual Opteron platform. As part of our upgrades we are offering RAID as standard - this means more comprehensive backups of your data and redundant backups to boot.

We’re sorry if things have seemed a little quiet of late around the Colorteck Blog- we have been putting in the extra hours to get all this done as efficiently and securely as possible.

As always we love to hear from our clients, we even have a couple of emails tacked up on the wall to either cheer us up or to kick us in the rears. Perhaps your email will join them? Let us know how Colorteck can work better for you. Contact us on support@colorteck.com.
