Ladies and Gentlemen - raise your glasses!

Late this evening, after three years of sterling service, our primary server will be given a pat on the back and put out to pasture.

For those who like numbers...

In that time, server 42304 has served 60 Million Pages to 20 Million Visitors from 231 countries.

On busy days recently it's been pumping out 120,000 pages in a day, and sending 20 files per second around the world. Even with the occasional hiccup it's managed an overall up-time availability around 99.95%.

If you're logging in around midnight you might find yourself shut out for a minute or two but if all goes well our hot new servers will take up the load then.

Jolly Good! 8)

Good news.

If this new server could also bring 2-3 foot of snow to the Tignes area by Monday that would be great!

A well deserved retirement no doubt.
and Smokey - give the new server a break :roll:
It is a novice server, new to all this, and will probably have to go to Niederau first ...
before graduating to a pr(oops better not say that) :mrgreen:
:thumbup:

:lol:

I can assure that the old primary server has already done the appropriate stuff in Niederau! So good luck, and the same continuing fortune to the new server!
Hot shot statistics, Admin! Of which, 231 countries was very interesting~ that must include most of the non-skiing world. How influential is that!
