Migration complete
Migration done. We’ve moved the scouta.com site and associated dbs and spidering and processing servers from a couple of ‘big’ real servers into a much more flexible set of virtualized of servers that we can turn up and down for load and specialize for various tasks as we need to. More on why this is important to us will be revelaled one day soon.
It was a nice smooth changeover as far as we can see. If you seen anything broken that we’ve missed, please sing out… email us a feedback [at] scouta [dot] com.

Did you move to Xen based architecture? Or something more like an EC2?

We’ve moved to a number of slices at slicehost. So, yes, XEN-based virtual servers. And it works very nicely, and it scales easily and their support is excellent.
