Technical Advisory: World Community Grid Moving Servers to a New Location

World Community Grid is getting brand new equipment and relocating its servers to a new IBM location. There is no action required on your part but we wanted you to be aware of the move.

The move starts on Wednesday, January 7, 2009 in the evening (approximately 0300 UCT January 8, 2009) and will require us to bring down the website for up to 48 hours.

During the downtime, your computer will be able to continue processing work units for your favorite World Community Grid research project. Your computer will know when the servers are back up and will then continue normal processing.

The move may cause your firewall to prompt you about World Community Grid. If this happens, please re-approve your computers access to World Community Grid.

For more information read this post in the member news forum.

We sincerely appreciate your wonderful support!

ils déménagent leurs serveurs à partir de cette nuit (8 janvier 2009 à 4h, heure française). Le site web sera coupé pendant 48 heures. A priori pas d'impact sur le calcul des unités (enfin peut-être un peu quand même par rapport à la communication vers les serveurs : http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/forums/wcg/viewthread?thread=22984). Peut-être une alerte au niveau de votre firewall lors du redémarrage...

Bonne journée.
