I originally sent this to the PS Committee distribution list and HQ staff. Since then, I have had a few questions on this so I am now sending it to the entire ODV list. Sorry for the duplication. From: Jon Bloom Re: Logbook of the World Server Update (Q2 Goal) There are a few small bugs yet to be winkled out of the system, but the new Logbook of the World server is up and running. The principal benefits of the new server, aside from the obvious value of having newer hardware, are that it provides faster processing and more storage, and it uses upgraded operating-system and relational database (RDMS) software. The speed difference is quite noticeable to end users. The increase in storage space took LoTW from using about 90% of its available storage to about 45%. The new RDMS software will allow for future growth as we have upgraded to a system (MaxDB 7.6) that allows better distributed processing and clustering.
