a small update:
over the weekend, i purchased a couple additional domains(
Openex.info, home of the forums, and
Openex.mobi home of the mobile version of the site) and security certificates for each, and finalized a deal for hosting of the site.
the site will be launched on the following hardware:Dell Poweredge
Dual 6 core Xeon 5639's
48 GB ECC DDR3
Dual 1 tb sata with raid
100mbit port, firewalled
google pagespeed cdn+google shield
upgrade plans:
phase1:
-move wallets to server 2(Quad Opteron, 32 gb ddr2, dual 100 mbit port, firewalled)
-move openex.mobi(mobile site) to server 3(Core i7, 8 gb dd3, 1 gbit port, firewalled)
-launch openex.info(the forums)
phase2:
an upgrade with Alpheus moves us into tier 2 hosting, where we share the benefit of the following:
4x 100 gbit CISCO CRS-3 single port with 140G Cisco FPG
Tommorow, the site will go back online at the vps, and we will begin rigorously working on its completion. we have a tentative goal of December, however much of it will hinge on how confident i am in the security of the site. i am typically cautious and would like to err on the side of caution rather than to produce a bad exchange.
stay tuned folks
