Isn't that a bit of a contradiction or am I misreading it ?

They transferred to a new server on 10th and on 19th they're having huge
problems with the server yet the new server's working well but it's
under utilized...

How do we change to this under utilized server whilst the other one's
down ?

You are confusing multiple different devices:

1: There is their new fast database server;

2: there is the older slower database server that now acts just to keep
a replica database as a backup and for offline accessing;

3: There is the NAS (Network Attached Storage) device that holds the
active uploads and downloads files (WUs and WU results).

Their latest hardware problems are with device #3 as listed above.


They are certainly giving the hardware sponsors a very thorough test of
their donated hardware!

And in the mean time there is also the option of either using the BOINC
platform to participate in other scientific projects, or, as I have done for
the time being, revert back to the still fully operational Seti Classic
project.

Where is Nurse Olga when you need her :-)
