Server Migration

<< < (2/3) > >>

Rennhack:
The 2nd (new) server has been 'turned on', now comes the delightful process of moving everything over there.  That step could take up to two weeks.

Shared features:

Managed:     Managed
Managed Backup Retention:     2 weeks retention - Onsite
Antivirus:     Sophos
Monitoring:     Rackspace Monitoring
Data Center:     Dallas/Fort Worth TX  (DFW1)

Old Hardware:

Whitebox Server:     Single Socket Dual Core AMD Opteron 1212, #Processors: 1, #Cores per Proc: 2
Memory:     2GB DDR RAM
Hard Drive:     500GB SATA, HDD RPM: 7200
Ethernet:     100Mb Primary Ethernet Card
Included Bandwidth:     GB Bandwidth: 1000
OS:     Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES 4 - 32 bit, OVF Name: rhel4Guest
IP Allocation:     2 IPs, # IPs: 2
backup_type:     Weekly Full + Daily Differential

New Hardware:

Config Type:     Single Processor Dedicated Server (Haswell)
HP Servers:     Single Socket Hex Core Intel Xeon E5-2620v3 2.4GHz, #Processors: 1, #Cores per Proc: 6
HP Memory:     32 GB HP RAM
RAID Configuration:     RAID 1
Hard Drive:     HP 300GB 12G SAS 15K SCC HDD
Hard Drive:     HP 300GB 12G SAS 15K SCC HDD
Ethernet:     1000Mb Port
Included Bandwidth:     GB Bandwidth: 2000
Linux OS:     Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7
IP_address_quantity:     Number of IPs, # IPs: 1
backup_type:     Weekly Full + Daily Incremental

Moving from 2 old cores to 6 new cores, 2 GB ram to 32GB ram, 100MB nic to 1,000 MB nic, and from a single 7200 RPM HD to dual 15,000 RPM raid array. (and from old OS to much newer OS).

The hardware is WAY better, and so is the software. The website theoretically should be faster and more responsive when we are finished.
