Website hosted on new server
Up to Support
I finally got the web services migrated over to the new hardware. So as soon as I can get the caching layers configured we should see a very nice improvement in performance of the site.
But even without that, things should hopefully feel a little snappier. Seeing as we went from 1GB to 16GB of RAM, and from a 1.6GHz single core AMD sempron to a ~3GHz quad core AMD Athlon II.
Note that no code changes were made - this was strictly a hosting migration. But it was the lynchpin for enabling me to do a whole bunch of stuff -- we've been totally hand-cuffed on the old server for quite awhile.
At any rate - please keep an eye out for abnormal behavior of any of the site features.
Thanks.
It's just the website stuff. Our rFactor servers are all hosted on a separate dedicated box (which is plenty powerful enough for what we need -- the limiting factor is bandwidth).
Excellent - way faster in my perception from here. Means I can jump in and comment in the time it takes the boss to walk from his office to my desk. Yay !
(Very noticeable speed increase!)
