Update on hardware upgrade, and system move.
Ok guys...
Our hardware ugprade and re-location has been a little more bumpy that I had hoped for.
As it stands right now we are moving to a Tier 1 provider in Chicago. Our new bandwidth provider will be Level 3 Communications (www.level3.com).
The hardware has also changed.
We are not going to be using any Opterons.
We picked up a very nice Dell Poweredge 6850.
This server is a Quad Intel Xeon MP 3.2 with EMT64, 8 Gigs of RAM and 4 73 gig 15,000 RPM Drives running RAID 10.
This shows our commitment to UO Gamers. Our new datacenter required us to sign a one year contract, thus we will be providing you service for a long time to come.
In honor of this (and the enormous setup fee) we will be running a major donation drive. Just to show the costs of what we have:
PE6850: $7,500.00 (typically this is $14,391.00)
Level3 Setup: $3,500.00
Level3 Monthly: Not yet determined.
Please note, we got a hell of a deal on the server you will be palying on, its ultra redundant and provides the best possible platfrom for you guys to play on.
Once the move is complete, we will be getting pictures of our entire setup for everyone to see
Thanks,
Ryan
