Subject: IMPORTANT: ezboard is relocating its public network 4/27/04
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ezboarders:
We have been listening to your concerns about the performance of the ezboard network and are taking action. Over the last few months we have been designing a major upgrade to our infrastructure. The implementation plans are in place and over the next week, we will be deploying the new infrastructure. We would like to explain the changes you can expect in the short and long term:
ezboard will be upgrading and relocating its entire public network on Tuesday, April 27. We are replacing most of our existing hardware with faster, more powerful and more reliable servers. We are also moving our data center to a state-of-the-art facility. This new facility provides us with better Internet connectivity, systems, security and access.
These changes will result in an improved ezboard, with faster service, less downtime, and most importantly, an enhanced ezboard experience for you, our valued customer. Here is what you can expect from the ezboard network before, during, and after the upgrade.
What can you expect between now and the move date on April 27th?
In the days remaining until the move, ezboard technicians are working around the clock to ensure the smoothest migration of boards and data from our current servers to the new servers. Part of the preparation will involve a scheduled network downtime this Friday, <!--EZCODE FONT START--><span style="color:red;font-size:large;"><!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em><!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>April 23 from 8 pm to 9 pm PDT. In addition, there may be isolated intermittent slowness or even unscheduled downtime while we prepare for the move.</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END--></em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--></span><!--EZCODE FONT END-->
<!--EZCODE FONT START--><span style="color:red;font-size:large;"><!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em><!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>What can you expect on April 27th and early April 28th?
The move will begin at 8pm PDT on Tuesday, April 27. We are anticipating system-wide downtime starting at 8 pm PDT that will continue until 6 am PDT April 28th.</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END--></em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--></span><!--EZCODE FONT END--> During this time we will be moving servers between data centers. Some boards will become active sooner than others. Your individual experience may vary, however we ask that you be prepared for a total of ten hours of downtime. Anyone attempting to access an ezboard community during this time will be automatically redirected to a system-wide announcement page with information on the changes we are making to the ezboard network.
What can you expect after the move date?
Once the move is complete and all servers are back online we expect an improvement in speed and reliability. Moving forward, the ezboard network should be faster and more reliable.
We thank you for your patience and understanding and we are anxious for you to experience these new improvements within ezboard!
