Well, it’s upgrade time at INS.
Some of the old servers need replacing and software upgrading. Currently, the radio server is offline but tested. We have moved the server infrastructure from HP Gen7 servers to Gen9 machines. 3 servers 2 online and one standalone. Server1 the radio server will be upgraded in RAM to 40 GB to handle pressure with the Virtual DJ software. Server 2 will upgrade to 32GB of RAM. This machine will handle various websites and an upload facility, for user files with no bandwidth restrictions. Server 3 is the backup server on the network for files and software projects. We expect a little downtime in the coming weeks due to the upgrades and hope it won’t spoil the fun. All sites with stay online using our choice of hosting company. No downtime is expected here.
All telephones are due to be upgraded. We have decided to use a VOIP/SIP internal system. Hardware has been ordered and is due to be fitted to the network in April.
We have added a new number to the system for use immediately. Our London number is +44 0208 058 9281 for our main offices.
We will keep you informed of any changes as they happen.
