Organic Design move from US to Germany completed successfully!
The Organic Design sites have now been moved from the US to Germany at webgo24.de. We now have a faster 3.3GHz quad-core Xeon E3-1265L CPU (with 8 threads and 8MB L3 cache). We've also gone up from 4GB to 16GB of RAM and from 250GB disk up to 1.7TB with raid-1 for extra data integrity.
Pretty much all the software is exactly the same on the new server as the last one apart form two things, first we changed from Ubuntu 10 to Debian 6, and secondly we've changed our database server from MySQL to MariaDB. MariaDB is a drop-in replacement so that no configuration needs to be changed to migrate to it and it has several advantages including better performance and flexible back-end storage options such as distributed "NoSQL" storage protocols. But most importantly for us is that MariaDB is 100% open source whereas MySQL has been getting less and less open source since it was bought by Oracle a few years ago.
