Bit more of an outage at the moment...

Post by UBT - PennyQ »

The air conditioning in our server closet failed this morning, causing several of our important systems to overheat. The servers have since been shut down, but until we survey the damage and address these cooling issues all parts of the project will remain offline.

So I don't suppose there'll be much happening at all this week!   :?

The project is down while we remodel our database servers.
The machine that was running the main BOINC database has become too unreliable to use. The backup server does not have the capacity to run the project on its own.

The very good news is that we just ordered two new servers! One will be the new BOINC database server and the other will be the new back end science database server. Our capacity to both distribute and analyze our data will increase significantly with these new machines.

While we prepare for these new servers and get them going once they arrive, the project will be down. Although no new work will be distributed, all outstanding work will be uploaded and credited. This web site and the forums will remain up for most of the remodeling period.

Funding for the new servers has come entirely from very generous donations from the SETI@Home community. 28 Oct 2010 22:26:47 UTC
