We do that in the background as is, it is what is actually making all of the room for this rack-reshuffling. We're increasing our density. I estimated thirty minutes as that it about the longest its ever taken us to move one. We're getting pretty good at this! Only about 5 racks to go!

Suppose that would mean a bit of extra hardware lying around but... well, you could cut down these downtimes to... what, ¿30sec maybe? Anyway, I'm glad you keep telling us things on some notice -however short would that be- instead of 5 days after it happened... if ever.

I'm currently starting a business and am going to be hosting my applications on DH - but I'm a bit worried. My clients will not be happy with downtime in the middle of the evening. Maybe I should start looking elsewhere... Do you know if a lot of DH customers run businesses off of their hosting?

Do you have a rough order of moving? Might be nice to know when during that time I'd be interfered with.. What?

did you say the impact for me will be only when you move the filer for my cluster?

Do you have a rough order of moving? Might be nice to know when during that time I’d be interfered with..
