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.

Over the next 24 hours or so .. that is from Fri 15 Feb to Sat 16 Feb .. we are migrating the core scouta services onto a brace of fancy new servers. So, we might have a little downtime during the transfer, but if we do, we’ll be back really soon.

You might have noticed… our Agent download server is broken at the moment due to a really annoying server/host outage.

We’re working around that and will have it all back to life shortly.

[Update: All well now. As of Sat evening GMT all was back alive.]

We’ve just been hit with a network hardware failure on our main web servers, so scouta.com will be out of action for a while while we route around to alternate servers. We’ll be back on the air shortly.

[Update: 16:14 BST: we’re back! though there might be a few hiccups to come over the next few hours as we put a permanent fix in place]

[Update: 21:45 BST: normal service is restored now. Phew.]
