We have a new database server! Looking at the load numbers we seem to be running much better! I'm hoping this will help with load issues during the week when it tends to slow down.

Geek details for those who are in to those sorts of things:

HP DL360 G4
Dual 3.6 Xeons
800 Mhz FSB
8 Gigs of RAM
15k Scsi's in a Raid 0+1 array
Red Hat Enterprise AS

Got to admit, I understand all but one of them - although considering IT is my daytime job, maybe I really should have got them all! Plus I'm a bit of a sad techno-geek as well!

Well its all double dutch to me, but so long as I can get my daily DIS fix I am a happy bunny!

It has made the site a lot faster here.

(I'm the sadest and understand all the details
