Big infrastructure upgrade on the way

Posted by David Greiner on October 06, 2006

We've been hard at work behind the scenes at Campaign Monitor the last few weeks. Our focus hasn't been on new features you'll see in the interface, but they're important nonetheless and we wanted to keep you all in the loop.

It's been an exciting few months for the Freshview team. We've rolled out our second product to complete our email newsletter toolkit for designers, plus we've continually improved Campaign Monitor based on loads of customer requests.

Back in May 2005 we announced the big move to a new data centre and a solid hardware upgrade to ensure everything kept purring along smoothly. Now, almost 18 months on, we're again making a number of key upgrades behind the scenes to keep the application super fast and ensure all your campaigns are delivered in a timely manner.

Here's a few of the updates we've been working on and will be moving to in the coming weeks.

The move to one of the world's premier tier-1 data centers. This means brand new hardware, improved scalability and some of the best support and server monitoring available.
Complete redundancy in every layer of the application to dramatically reduce the risk of any outages moving forward.
A big upgrade to our mail servers that will seriously improve delivery speeds.

As part of this upgrade, we'll be updating the IP's of our delivery servers, which will obviously have implications for those customers that have whitelisted these IP's or set up SPF or Sender ID records. We'll be giving you all plenty of notice on these changes and are always available to help out if you ever have any questions. We'll also ensure these IP's are added to our existing ISP whitelisting agreements, feedback loops, etc.

These upgrades will give us the breathing space we need for plenty of future growth and also give us the opportunity to work on some of the new features we've got planned for the months ahead that would have been inhibitive with our current setup. These are exciting times and we couldn't have got here without your support.
