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.
