Last weekend our server has been down. It again was due to a broken harddrive (the 3rd in 5 months). No data was lost however (as this time it was only one of the 2 disks in the raid-set that broke down) and everything is working again now.
In the meantime we are looking for possibilities of getting a new, dedicated server, instead of the old, colocated one we have now. We are because managing your own server- hardware may be fun (and it is!) & often a bit cheaper, but it takes quite a bit of time, and can be really troublesome if one is out of town when some sort of breakdown occurs… This is one of those situations in which limiting one’s objectives and riding the wave of specialization into the virtual era is a good thing…
An update of the beta is in the make (will look much better in IE), and should be there soon, just like the help-page and a few example documents to show the power of Manta…
