**Message from Webmaster Alex - New Database Server**

[mandymouse]

Last night the boards were migrated to a new database server. For the technically inlclined the big difference is that instead of all internal drives this one is hooked up via fiber channel with to an EMC Clarion SAN array, we are using 10 drives in a raid 5
Like any new server it may need a little tweaking and tuning so bear with me for a day or two and the boards should be flying!

Lets just say that with Raid 5 there should be no chance of us loosing data. Have a look at Raid 5
