USA: servers withdrawal and replacement announcement

[Staff 9971]

Hello!

 

We inform you that the following servers are being withdrawn:

 

Servers: 1+1 Gbit/s Alkes, Merope, Sabik (Los Angeles, California)

Reason: not meeting our requirements anymore for hardware and lines.

Replacement: yes, two 3+3 Gbit/s servers in San Jose (California), planned for January the 14th 2024 or earlier, on top of the new (already active) 10 Gbit/s server in Los Angeles (Saclateni).
 

Servers: 1+1 Gbit/s Pollux (Jacksonville, Florida)

Reason: not meeting our requirements anymore for hardware and line.

Replacement: yes, one 3+3 Gbit/s servers in Raleigh (North Carolina, planned for January the 16th 2024 or earlier) + expansion in Miami planned for the near future.
 

Kind regards and datalove

Looking forward for the Raleigh server!! Thanks

Nice, hoping for some decent speeds from the one in Raleigh, NC. Also crossing my fingers for better latency—gotta wait to see how well the peering is.

@Staff is it safe to say that you are consolidating to less servers but faster servers as a general strategy?

Hello!

Not entirely, because we aim at maintaining approximately the current redundancy. The reason is that for redundancy considerations and non linear CPU load on amount of connected clients we cannot deem one 3 Gbit/s server as equivalent to three 1 Gbit/s servers and even less so 10 Gbit/s server equivalent to ten 1 Gbit/s server.  In this specific case four servers have been replaced by four servers (if you add up the other 10 Gbit/s server in Los Angeles) and more should come in Florida.

Kind regards
