Exciting times! Our new server is now installed and running, and it's a beast!
This server is responsible for all the heavy lifting which makes the site work - it does all the work of gathering data about your website, and making sense of all that data. As you might expect, this needs a fair amount of grunt - we've got a pair of quad-core Xeons chugging away there, backed up by 24GB RAM, and a whole bunch of 10k 2.5" SAS disks (these have the same performance characteristics as 15k 3.5" disks) in RAID 10 keeping all that data safe.
