In addition to eQSL.cc, I operate more than 10 other web sites. I say "more than 10", because there are actual 25 that I am moving over to the new servers, but some of them are personal sites for friends, and some are defunct enterprises that never went anywhere. Several of them are incubators for possible new businesses, and several are non-profits that I am assisting, such as the Miniature Schnauzer Rescue of North Texas (MSRNT.com) and the Dallas Chapter of the Red Cross.
I will be using several of these web sites as "guinea pigs" to test the new server farm. I will move their databases and their HTML over to the new servers and make sure everything works correctly before committing to move the eQSL system, which is by far the largest of all the web sites.

Status of the migration to new server farm
On May 30, 2010, our data center completed the installation of 2 new servers. One of them will be the web/application/mail server, and the other will be a dedicated database server. Both of them are dual CPU, quad-core processors running at 2.26GHz. The app server is running a 32-bit operating system with 4GB of RAM because our graphics routines are not 64-bit, and we need to convert them first. The database server is running a 64-bit OS with 24GB of RAM dedicated to the database engine. We will play with these server configurations and do some testing first. There are about a hundred different ways to perform the migration, and we need to figure out the best way to do this to minimize downtime.
