Last weekend, Angelsoft was migrated to our new infrastructure at Rackspace. eApps, our old hosting provider has not been able to give us support and servers that we need. We spoke to several leading hosting providers and chose Rackspace for their excellent infrastructure and ultra fast support response times: during the installation, I stopped one of the web servers for about 20 seconds, a Rackspace technician contacted me immediately to check whether we are aware of the problems.

Angelsoft is now running on 3 application servers (we had only two at eApps) and a dedicated database/file server. All cutting-edge, multi-CPU machines, running on a gigabit network internally and with 100 Mbs connection to the internet. As Angelsoft's user base grows, we will be adding more application servers, scaling virtually indefinitely. 

To add even more stability and high availability, we will install new monitoring software in next few days. And, to top it all, our document storage will move to Amazon's S3 service this summer, decreasing delivery time for documents, logos etc, while allowing us to effortlessly expand the storage requirements.

Enjoy it...
