Server Infrastructure Update

We migrated to a more powerful remote login server. Beside half an hour out-of-service time
yesterday the migration went smoothly, as far as I can see.

There will also be a migration of the core Meteobridge server that provides the images
for the clients, stores min/max data and handles all the licensing. We will try to
keep out of service time minimal. We plan migration in January.

We will migrate from a shared virtual server to a dedicated root server, to handle
increasing load from a constantly growing number of Meteobridges out there. In the
past we had just very few performance issues with the virtual server, but when the server
performed slow during some period, we did not had a chance to fix it. Just waiting for
the provider to fix its VM setup is not what our DNA is like ;-)
So we decided to take full control again by renting a physical server in a data center.
