As was mentioned yesterday, we’ve been working on migrating Bloglines to a new data center to improve service. Most of the work has already been done behind the scenes. We've set up hundreds of new machines and copied tens of terabytes of data across the US to prepare for the final part of the move.
During this last part of the data center migration, we will have a planned downtime from 12/05/08

You may have noticed that Qassia, the powerful and free SEO tool for feeding backlink oomph to your websites, was not available for about 24 hours over the weekend. This is because a transformer at the data center blew up, taking down 7000 servers. Qassia always did refer to itself as an explosive and dynamic startup, but didn't quite mean it in a literal sense. Anyway, more about the explosion on

I data center "verdi" sono davvero verdi? E quanta sensibilità c'è riguardo alla questione dei consumi? Poca, secondo uno studio di McKinsey & Co., che si è avvalso dei dati di Uptime Institute per evidenziare uno scenario preoccupante: di questo passo nel 2020 l'energia consumata dai data center finirà per produrre un impatto ambientale sul Pianeta superiore a quello delle aviolinee.

An article in theregister.co.uk mentions how a Chicago-based data hosting center, C I Host, was broken into twice. The more recent case was about a month ago, on October 2nd, when armed robbers (!) broke into the facility by “cutting into the reinforced walls with a power saw.” The night manager present was tasered and struck with a blunt instrument. Then, the robbers made off with equipment belonging to C I Host and their customers, including servers.
In the ensuing days, C I Host turned the robbery into a major PR fiasco, taking several days to admit that there was a breach at the location. In the meantime, they told affected customers that servers were down, routers were not working, etc.—anything but the truth. What was management thinking? We’re they planning on surreptitiously replacing the customers’ machines? What about the data on those machines? Copy them over from back ups? What about the serial numbers o
A data center is a facility designed to store large amounts of equipment connected to computers, electronics and communications. Usually maintained by organizations in order to handle core operations in information services, including Internet connectivity, intranets, LANS, WANS, and extranets - practically every size of company, has some manner of data center. The most basic data center will have a computer network, including backup power supplies, air conditioning, and security applications, which amounts to a very large amount of data, stored in a large number of computers. Generally, the larger a company is, the larger the data center(s) will be. While larger companies may house their own data centers, smaller firms may opt to outsource its I.T. infrastructure or corporate computer information to a data center, suited to storing confidential, critical systems and business information.It is important for a company to have access to a data center, logically, because this is where a g

Tuesday's magnitude 6.2 earthquake in central Japan was was only the most recent in a series of strong earthquakes to hit the country, one of the most seismically active regions on earth. This presents an engineering challenge for data center managers, whose facilities must be prepared to ride out quakes of magnitude 7.0 or greater.Nearly 1,000 Japanese companies have turned to WorkSafe Technologies to protect their equipment.
