Temporary (and brief) NICO outage alert

Post by **AZhitman** » Wed Apr 07, 2004 8:40 am

Greetings NICOnauts!

Here's an email I just received from our web development team regarding the recent and ongoing upgrades to the NICO hosting infrastructure. I thought I'd share the update with you.

Here are some pictures of our new collocation facility in Kissimmee. Our actual racks systems are shown in the pictures. We have spared no expense in creating the best possible facility within the Central Florida area. Every system has full redundancy. The entire building is on two separate power grids. Even the air conditioning system is completely redundant. The collocation room has more than one hundred racks installed. The best part for us is they are only at 25% of their capacity. They have three carriers in the building Time Warner, Cable and Wireless, and Quest. The building currently has more than 20GB of bandwidth.

Tonight we will be moving a few systems to test the new facility. The move will start at 10PM and will last several hours. We have spent several hours of planning and discussions to insure a successful move. The move tonight will not impact NICO.

The system hosting NICO will be moved Friday night at 10PM EST through Saturday. The systems should be back online no later than Saturday noon EST.

Thanks for your patience and understanding while we improve our services to you,

Look at it this way guys - You could all be on that "other" forum that gets their hosting from some guy that lives in a trailer down by the river with 2 Rent-A-Center PC's connected by extension cords....

We're top-notch baby! Nothing but the best for the NICOnauts.

Post by **AZhitman** » Wed Apr 07, 2004 8:40 am

what are you saying?

Post by **AZhitman** » Wed Apr 07, 2004 8:40 am

I'm saying, we're fortunate to be so blessed with top-notch servers and hosting.

Or something like that...

He's saying that the man down by the river, in the trailer, has a server running off 2 rent-a-center PC's, and it will be up while NICO goes down.

Urgh...uh...wait....I mean....I think he meant NICO is better cuz it's cooler or something.

No whats wrong with living in a trailer down by the river with two stolen computers and an extension cord.
