[Francisco]

I'm fiddling with different ideas for the hybrid mounts idea.

The problem with it is that shrinking the volume gets ugly.

When our contract goes up for renewal next year we'll part ways with CC.

I think this is the real news in the thread

Oh quit teasing my wallet.

News?  We've made our feelings and intent to leave pretty clear by now

 

[Francisco]

For people wanting additional space we can likely allocate space from a 2nd array.

It would be from mechanical drives, though, but it'd at least let you have a 'best of both worlds' kind of deal.

[Mun]

Can I get one of those SSD's now O_O

 

[Francisco]

Not yet

The plans will be up for sale during the same time that users can migrate, though.

We're not sure how quickly users will move over but if it starts to be a tsunami of that + sales we'll roll more nodes as we need.

So this is an expansion in Vegas? Either way, I am looking forward to it.

Somewhat

We'll have to build a few extra nodes but as users migrate from the normal OVZ plans we'll re-purpose the equipment with SSD's.

[jcaleb]

When CC expires, will move but same city/location?

 

[Francisco]

Choopa is who we're likely to go to.

Why not start having some gears there soon...

Maybe

It wouldn't be a bad idea to shove off some SSD nodes right away.

Absolutely. This eases the hassle  of transporting nodes and customers will be happier because there wont be any downtime and risk. You really need to concentrate more on the NY location fran  

 

[Francisco]

It's getting plenty of love soon enough

Incero is also nice boss

BREAKING NEWS:  BuyVM to pull up stakes and leave Buffalo for a real New York location--- soon enough.

 

[Francisco]

Incero is also nice boss

They're in Dallas which is central USA, not quite east coast

Users want that location to be on the east coast and we have a lot of European users that want it there.
