ReliableSite has provided two sponsored servers to replace our North American update servers. One is in Los Angeles and the other In Miami. Each has a 9900X, 196GB RAM, 2x 4TB NVMe and 10Gbps bandwidth. We greatly appreciate the support.

We’ve already set up both servers, tested them and deployed them to production by adding them to our GeoDNS configuration:

This was based on our split between Las Vegas and Beauharnois (Quebec) for our website and network servers and may be adjusted.

We were previously provided with a 25Gbps server in Amsterdam by Macarne. These 3 servers now handle all of the traffic for OS and app updates along with fresh installs. It would help to have servers from providers with great peering in a few more places.

We should have enough bandwidth for at least the next year or two now. It would still help to have a 10G update server with good peering in Asia and it would be nice having one around New York too. We don’t need more bandwidth yet but people’s download speeds could be improved.

We also have a bunch of services not consuming much bandwidth compared to updates where we need unmetered VPS or dedicated server instances in Asia. We also need a better way to do anycast for our self-hosted DNS servers. Our ns2 is currently BuyVM anycast which is missing Asia.
