Interesting... the Fremont data center had some pretty serious issues a couple years ago, and though it has been better since then the bad memories remain. I wonder if they're finally switching to a different data center vendor.
- cheald 14y agoThe Fremont issues have mostly been due to HE, AFAIK. That wouldn't really affect RAM upgrades, would it?
- agwa 14y agoNo, but if they're going to imminently switch to a new data center vendor they wouldn't bother rolling out the new hardware at their old data center, would they?
- kattuviriyan 14y agoBut they upgraded to the 8 core machines recently even in Fremont!
- grahamedgecombe 14y agoThe old L5520 processors they are using have 4 cores with hyperthreading, so it appears as 8 to the OS - so they don't have to have changed the host machines to present 8 cores to the VMs.
- drzaiusapelord 14y agoHe's referring to the recent move to the Sandy Bridge E5-2670 processor. All linode customers have this, but it will require a reboot to activate it.
- saraid216 14y agoHrm. I don't know about a couple years ago, but I recently moved my server from Fremont to Dallas because I was having weird network issues from my California friends. (I host a small Mumble server.) Moving to Dallas fixed everything completely.
