WEDOS Global is gradually growing. Two important points were added in January. We are doing our best to make the network truly global as soon as possible. We just want to have our hardware with enough connectivity everywhere. In today’s article we have a short summary of how we are doing.

At the beginning of the year, we significantly strengthened the parameters of the NoLimit service, especially in terms of computing power. This was especially appreciated by customers using content management systems with larger databases and customers whose websites are visited by a large number of visitors on a spur-of-the-moment basis. And it shows. The number of service cancellations due to “dissatisfaction with performance/speed” dropped almost 4 times. But it’s not just about increasing the parameters. Behind it are changes and advances that most customers are unaware of.

There’s a lot going on here. We are building our decentralised WEDOS Global network, preparing to launch the first WEDOS Global Protection service on it, and the development of oil cooling is still going ahead, but these are not all big projects. Last year, we migrated our service data to the new 3PAR StoreServ Storage 8450, which was very challenging and we still ran into the occasional problem a few months later. In addition to significant simplification, increased stability and speed, this new solution also opens the way for us to take many services further.

When the strongest attacks in the history of the Czech Internet came at us in April 2021, which managed to clog all 3 of our 100 Gbps routes for a short time, we understood that the rules were changing. Despite upgrading the hardware of our protections, strengthening our infrastructure and implementing new processes, it was only a matter of time before short attacks of this magnitude became longer or even permanent attacks.

Last month we informed you about the successful migration of NoLimit web hosts from old servers to new ones. It was a very important step for us to move forward. As you know, we like a unified solution that we can scale quickly, efficiently and also cheaply.

We have done a number of experiments with oil cooling servers. Some took literally a few minutes and other times the whole project took several years to collect enough data for long-term operation. As a result of a series of experiments, our second datacenter will house all of the planned 10,800 physical servers cooled in oil baths using a giant cooling circuit. It includes a project to prove (proof of concept) that waste heat from oil cooling can be used to heat remote buildings. Of course, we don’t stop there, we still have the HUPS project 😉

Our CML (Central Monitoring Logs) system continuously collects data from all servers and other devices on our network and evaluates it in real time. This is 600 – 700 GB of data per day. It serves primarily for the purpose of tracking down errors and problems. However, we also use them for our protection, for example. But what if we made them into an infographic?
This month we have completed the modifications to our network. Over the last few years, there have been a few improvisations hastily created that would do no good in the future. As we plan to scale everything, we need to have order in such an important part of the infrastructure as the network.

As we promised last week, we are doing just that. Connectivity is crucial for any datacenter, so we set about improving our 100 Gbps routes. At the same time, our technicians prepare a set of regular sharp tests to detect any problem.

This year we are gradually catching up with a lot of rest. The long-awaited WMS service is already being intensively tested by dozens of beta testers, we have also launched a closed beta test of WEDOS Cloud, DC2 is already completed and we are gradually starting to prepare for the first infrastructure tests. However, one big thing is still missing and that is to prepare a new repository.
