We have moved the primary database service over to the the new server.
Everything is looking good at this point. The new machine is currently very
under utilized which is good - we are going to grow a lot!
The new system consists of a Sun v40z opteron with 2 1.8GHz processors and
8GB RAM, connected to a Sun 3510 fibre channel storage array. The latter was
donated by Sun. As the needs of the project increase we can add 2 additional
CPUs and take RAM up to 32GB.

The old database server is now a replica that will be used for backups and
administrative queries.
