Huge hardware upgrade on the way!

Posted by David Greiner on May 25, 2005

It's been a big 6 months around here. Since our launch late last year, we've grown to thousands of customers in more than 50 countries and delivered millions of newsletters. It's been exciting, rewarding and we're loving every minute of it (yes, even on those late nights).

With this sort of growth comes growing pains. We're aware that during peak send times some campaigns are taking longer to go out than expected.

We've been holding off making this announcement because we wanted to make sure everything was in place first, but I'm happy to announce that over the next 10 days we'll be moving to a brand new data centre with a huge hardware upgrade that will see significant speed improvements. We'll also be tripling our number of delivery servers to ensure your campaigns get delivered on time every time.

In addition to speeding things up, the new hardware will also provide more robust data back-up capabilities, and will allow us to incorporate some exciting new features that would have been less effective before the upgrade.

We'll be doing everything in our power to keep down-time to a minimum. If we can't avoid a small service outage, we'll ensure it's done when traffic is at its lowest to minimize the impact to you and your recipients.

Finally, I wanted to say a huge thanks for the great feedback and kind words we receive off you guys on a daily basis. It's what keeps us going full steam ahead. Stay tuned...
