NEWS AND NOTES FROM ROOTSWEB
WHERE HAVE ALL THE ROOTSWEB ADMINS BEEN? RootsWeb users may have
noticed that, for about the last six weeks, RootsWeb's system
administrators have been hard to find and generally a bit
wild-eyed and stressed when they appeared in public.
The reason is that the load on our servers jumped immediately
after Christmas. For example, mailing list traffic we handle
jumped from about 119 million deliveries in November to about 154
million pieces in January. That's almost a 30% leap.
Although we haven't run the Web statistics for January yet, we
suspect Web traffic jumped a similar amount.
Since December, to handle the load, RootsWeb has brought online:
o A new and much faster main Web server.
o A new FTP server.
o A new and much faster GenConnect server.
o A new and much faster Surname Helper server.
o A new and much faster RootsWeb Surname List (RSL) and
Obituary Daily Times server.
o A new server for the FreeBMD British records project.
o A new server for providing personalized search engines
for the Webmasters of genealogical sites.
It has been a Herculean task to bring all those machines online
in just a few weeks, and we aren't through yet. In the next few
weeks we need to:
o Upgrade the "lists2" listserver's processor and memory
(costs $2,000).
o Build a new "lists3" listserver (costs $4,000).
o Build a faster server to carry most of the load currently
being handled by the "searches" search engine server
(costs $12,000).
o Add a fast "RAID" disk array to the GenConnect server
(costs $6,000).
We mention the costs because these needed upgrades and new
servers currently are not funded. By making a financial
contribution to RootsWeb, you can help us provide more mailing
lists, more searchable data files, and more GenConnect boards for
the whole community to use.
