Server Migration Marathon

September 4th, 2008 | Posted by Pin

Last week, one of our customer had decided to migrate their web infrastructure to our data centre for a more reliable solution. The challenge includes moving servers of a distance more than 400km, with both servers hosted more than 20 websites.

To begin with the process, all websites were pointed to a temporarily server-in-maintenance page. One team collected both servers while another delivered it to the new data centre without any delay. It took 15 hours and finally the servers were up again smoothly. Well, a stop at Old Town for a recharge is crucial!

Why did you need one team to collect and another to do the delivery? — since you can’t have both team working at the same time too.

Because we are just small team. The small team member can’t be divided to two, yet too tired to rush for both session continuously :)
