System Maintenance Thursday Early AM

Posted by Tom Kulzer (AWeber CEO)

The final stages of an extensive network facilities upgrade are to be completed Thursday. Over the past month our technical team has been migrating our servers from 2 locked cabinets into a private cage with 6 cabinets. This will allow for continued scaling to keep up with the millions of daily website hits and the introduction of several powerful new features and services.

Schedule:

During this time the customer and affiliate control panel areas of the website may be intermittently unavailable for login. All other aspects of the website should continue to function normally such as, new subscriber opt-ins, open rate tracking, click tracking links, unsubscribe requests, etc.

Thank you for your patience during this time period.

For those that like seeing behind the scenes I’ve included a few early pictures of the cage build out process below. The first picture in the grey cabinet is an older view of one of the two cabinets we’re moving out of. The private cage setup that follows in the other 5 pictures is about 50 feet from the original cabinets at our colocation facility provider. The cage pictures were taken about a month ago as we begin the build out, the guys have been too busy with the build out to take more recent ones.

Punch panel wiring. Very neat and orderly wiring for our remote KVM switch which permits secure offsite management.
Power strips Empty cabinets waiting to be filled up with servers.
Overhead wiring Close up of some overhead wiring for the KVM switch network.

NOTE: System maintenance was completed without incident on May 10th.
