Major Cf Network Upgrade

I'm going to upgrade CF's hardware.

Basically, we are going to get a few more webservers and change our server cluster setup.

I've made the order.

We'll have ONE load balancer, FOUR P4 2.4 dedicated web servers, ONE P4 3.2 dedicated image server and ONE Dual Xeon 2.8 dedicated database server. Talk about a crazy server network.

The Web

Load balancer
| | | |
4 webservers - 1 image server

1 database server

This should mean absolutely NO slowdown of CF for years to come, you'd expect. This new server cluster setup on a private network should mean that we can easily add more web servers if we need to.

This is going to cost me THOUSANDS to setup and THOUSANDS per month. Pray that we get the finances required to carry this through. It's a step of faith.

This upgrade will mean a day or two of downtime, possibly early next week (I've taken a few days off work). We'll see how we go.
I recently became a regular CF member, and I became a proud "Site Supporter" today. I hope my contributions and prayers will encourage others to do the same thing!

True, I fear.

Erwin, I'm amazed at all you do for us here in CF. Bless you and your wife, and may God bless you with all that is needed to continue on in this ministry. I hope you get some downtime yourself in these days you've taken off.
