I wanted to update all of you on what we're currently doing with our image servers.
We're in the process of moving 100% of your Auctiva hosted images to new hardware. Given the huge volume of images that we have, this is not a quick task and unfortunately the moving of images actually puts an additional strain on the existing old image servers. We're carefully monitoring things and we slow down the moving of images when the servers start reaching serving capacity.
With the new hardware, we have nearly an infinate amount of space and serving capacity to grow into. We will also have the older servers still in place with backup images which gives us protection in the rare case our new hardware breaks down.
This moves us in a very positive direction for the long term success of image hosting for Auctiva. Please bare with us during the next couple of weeks while we do transition to the new hardware. There is no planned downtime, but uploading and displaying of images may be a bit slower than normal during this time.
Thanks,
-Kevin
