The move was successful and we are now running on the new hardware!

The database is now running on the Sun Fire V20z server donated by Sun Microsystems. The web frontend is powered by one Dell 1850, the plan is to add a second one to load balance. Currently we are waiting for the second server to be delivered, and there are still some issues caused by having more than one server that need to be planned out in more detail.

The mail and cvs are still being hosted on the old hardware, again waiting for the new hardware still to move these to their own dedicated machine. Once the rest of the hardware is up and running we will start working on moving the rest over.

Update by Dries: Scott Kveton from the Open Source Lab at Oregon State University has additional details.

Tomorrow, Friday, august 26, 2005 the drupal.org website will be moved to the new hardware at OSL. The switch will start around 1300 CET. There will be some downtime as the latest data is copied over to the new servers and while the new DNS information propagates.
