Today our coders will be turning on our new uber cool 64-bit mega server, which has been placed at our new multi-homed DC in the state of Michigan. The new server will initially only account for 1/3 of Neowin's total load, but by the weekend the whole site will be transferred to it so that our 4 older servers can be switched off and retrieved from the DC in Chicago.
We should have no downtime at all this time around, as the server is more than capable of handling Neowin for the short period needed to transfer our other servers. DNS will eventually update for everyone as we transfer the complete load to the new server, until then Neowin can be accessed from both Data Center's.
