Network Upgrade
Tomorrow, Denis and I will be heading in to the data center to upgrade our network gear–to take advantage of the equipment that Cisco donated to us. This is a big upgrade since the key pieces of our infrastructure, including the LocalDirector load balancer, and the PIX firewall are as old as the Foundation, and are topped out in bandwidth capacity. The new gear includes an ASA firewall, CSS load balancer, and a few new switches, all of which are gigabit-capable. This gives us some head room over the next couple of years, allowing us to increase our bandwidth–we can’t right now. Thanks to Cisco for the new gear!
As we announced last week on the committers list, this is going to affect a lot of stuff. Since this amounts to a major organ transplant for our site, everything will be off line for a certain period of time. If you try to access Eclipse.org services this weekend and encounter unavailability or intermittent availability, rest assured we’re working to resolve it. If everything goes smoothly it could be a very short interruption.
