More Coffee, Please!


Coffee intake around the office has been up for the past few weeks.Socket's new email servers
 
A few Socketeers have been pulling overnight shifts in order to move thousands of Socket email accounts to shiny, brand new equipment.
 
We're all getting more email nowadays. And as the number of messages sent over Socket's network has increased, so had the load on our old servers.
 
In order to keep things running smoothly--and to plan for future growth--new servers were purchased, offering faster processing and more storage capacity.
 
In fact, the storage capacity of the new equipment is 17.5 times greater than our old servers!
 
The equipment upgrade will also pave the way for a new-and-improved version of Socket Webmail. The new site will feature the ability to store messages in folders, create an address book and manage spam email directly from your inbox, rather than a separate site.
 
So our mail administrators have been moving accounts during the overnight hours. They wrapped up the last ones early this morning.
 
But don't worry. They'll recover with lots of rest over the weekend. Our coffee supply? That may take awhile.
