[Adium-devl] New adiumx.com Server Specifications

[Evan Schoenberg]

Clarification: We do have a single dedicated server in the works with  
networkredux, not multiple.

Networkredux is indeed a higher capacity, more man-hours-of-support  
network than cocoaforge, which is imajes.  That said, James is doing  
a fantastic job and seems to be really interested in Adium remaining  
hosted on his machines.  So long as he is willing to do the support  
and his network and boxes can provide what we need, I don't think  
there's an overriding reason to do a server move.  Yes, there's been  
some down time and performance problems over time, but he's handled  
them well, and it seems to be fast and stable now; if we reach a  
point where our traffic's demands are pulling the trac/svn machine  
down regularly, it'll make good sense to revisit this.  For the  
record, Thomas has made it clear that we can move everything there if  
we want to (but we should keep in mind in these discussions that  
everyone involved is donating valuable resources and be sure to be  
thoroughly appreciative :) ).

There are advantages and disadvantages to having everything hosted on  
one box.  On one hand, convenience; on the other, wider-ranging  
problems if the machine has temporary problems.  Certainly two  
reliable machines are better in most ways than one reliable machine,  
especially if both are already configured for our needs.
