Data Center Move Goes Awry for TypePad

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the sloooow-responses dept.

miller60 writes "Problems during a switchover between data centers have slowed TypePad, the popular blog hosting service. Typepad maxed out its data center space and all available power at Internap, and is in the process of moving to a new data center. The transition has not gone smoothly, causing the Typepad service to slow to a crawl amid very public complaints by its blogger customers. TypePad operator Six Apart promises things will improve soon."

    If Typepad was utilizing Sun's $1 per gigabyte and per hour of processing time then such slowdowns wouldnt be a problem...
