AVEN Hardware Upgrade: March 9-16, 2023


Recommended Posts

EDIT: Maintenance is completed. No further downtime is expected.


Hey folks,

 

We will be undergoing server hardware maintenance between March 9 to March 16, 2023 to upgrade our database hardware. This hardware upgrade will allow for more software changes in the coming months, so we thank you in advance for your patience as we work to upgrade the many AVEN sites and systems. During this time, there will be a 60 second window in which the site will be unavailable as the hardware is swapped for an updated drive. The work is being done with multiple backups in place and should be quick, but will be dependant on our technicians availability so the most we can provide is an expected week of completion for the work. Should our upgrade conclude earlier, I will update this thread.

 

Best,

Coleslaw

Thanks for letting us know. I think most of us are used to taking the internet for granted and might forget the amount of work it takes for smaller independent sites like this. The work you put into it is so important and valuable and appreciated. :cake:

idk i assumed since AVEN runs on Invision (a website hosting service) that hardware wasn't exactly what you'd find on here

invision is forum software, not a hosting service
