Thank you for your patience this weekend while we made some needed changes to the system. We had originally scheduled this process for Friday night but had to postpone to Sunday night. However the maintenance went off without a hitch and only about 27 mins of downtime, well below our 1-4 hour window.
All systems are back online on the new WordPress cloud hosting infrastructure. The SANS, (network disks) are so much faster now and we are seeing a dramatic improvement in response time for our thousands of WordPress sites.
What’s next?
Phase 2: Over the next week or so we will begin transitioning over to our new database cluster which will be 3-way redundant and will segment reads and writes for even more speed.
Phase 3: Then we will begin provisioning new customers on the page.ly 3.0 system with further testing.
Final: We will move existing customers over in blocks to the new page.ly 3.0 system. Hopefully will complete this process by mid-August.
