RunUO Community -
I wanted to take a moment to update you on where we stand with our migration which has been in progress for the last six months.
Our facility is now fully standing and we have been deploying our entire infrastructure which to date consists of all Cisco hardware. We're currently deploying our Cisco UCS servers and have just completed our full scale SAN build out.
I would anticipate once this is completed we will finish the migration and consolidation of the web sites as well as bringing ConnectUO back into full production.
We're well aware of the various hiccups and pain this migration has caused but this time we decided it was best to build out our own INDEPENDENT network. We are utilizing high end, enterprise grade servers, storage and network devices and have entered into agreements with Level3 amongst other providers to deliver our traffic.
In short we are not utilizing a dedicated server/vps server or any other kind of reseller model. We are in fact our own network provider with our own agreements in place with Tier 1 providers. We are no longer beholden to other companies and their routing policies we are handling that all in house.
We appreciate your patience and assure you that once complete this build out is our last (this is a very long term (5 year) commitment) and will allow us to leverage our systems in a way which will provide you the very best experience. We also plan on opening up another datacenter in Phoenix, Arizona within the next twelve months which will serve as a disaster recovery facility for our network.
We've come a long way since the days of running our network on a server in the warehouse of a liquor store (Thanks Zippy, Alkiser and Chaos) and you will love where we are headed
Thanks again for your patience.
