We took a short break over the Christmas holiday. However, just before, on Thursday, December 23rd, we completed the new fiber circuit to our new facility and lit it up with network connectivity. It was thrilling to see the first packets in and out of our equipment there. This is a significant milestone, as we can begin to move servers soon. The first few test machines will be heading over this week. Wholesale migrations of our hosting servers should begin after the first of the year. We will post a schedule for hosting servers later this week. Mid January will see the start of single-server colocation clients, with rack-space clients moving in February.

We did do a bit of work on Sunday, December 26th, installing some shelves and prep work for the wire runs:
