[Adium-devl] Fwd: [Network Redux, LLC] Upgrade Proposal for the Adiumx/Adiumxtras project

[Evan Schoenberg]

This sounds fine to me. Does anyone have any reason we shouldn't take  
Thomas up on this upgrade offer?

Cheers,
Evan

>   Moving away from isolated dedicated servers, we are building

>   This being said we'd like to consolidate your hosting assets

>   Currently you have a dedicated server powering adiumx/adiumxtras
>   and Trac, as well as a VM handling your forums.
>
>   Three reasons to move off that dedicated server:
>
>   - You are on an older Dell 1850 chassis with 2GB RAM, swapping
>   at about 50% as I write this. We'd immediately move you to a 4GB
>   VM and scale you as needed. - You are in our single homed
>   facilities with TWTC, you'd be relocated to our multi-homed
>   facilities a few blocks away (where the mini resides). - We can
>   scale you vertically and horizontally with MUCH greater
>   efficiency in this new proposal, and we will handle the
>   migration for you. We can also load balance multiple VMs across
>   our infrastructure for you should you require it.

>   Let me know your thoughts on this. We're excited to see your
>   project move forward onto a better scaling platform.
