Happy New Year

2011 was an extremely busy year for 8 to Infinity Pte Ltd. We had a lot of migrations consolidating all servers into our own IPs and consolidating scattered about racks into only East and West location. With such consolidations, it enables us far more flexible compared to previous and allow us to offer a lot more services to our Customers.

Reflections for 2011

This is one super busy year for us as we consolidated our racks into East and West datacenters and move all of the servers into our own IP range. With that gives us far more flexibility and expansion capabilities. It was also extremely tiring for our colleagues. But I guess the results are well worth the efforts. We are now able to provide Business Disaster Recovery for our customers and are able to manage our datacenter racks far more effectively than when the racks are scattered in four datacenters. Year 2012 will be tough, but we enter the New Year full of optimism and hope :)

Email Security

Given the vast number of spams versus actual emails – approximately 90% spams, we need to know where the spams are coming from. A lot of them are coming from you and I. This is due to the carelessness when dealing with our email accounts. I have send a lot of passwords, 1234, qwerty etc which are the first passwords hackers try. Do update your email passwords to more secure ones, with Upper and Lower case, with symbols etc. Do not unwittingly fall into the trap of hackers and be part of the spamming network.

Singapore Dedicated Hosting

Dedicated Web Hosting refers to hosting whereby an entire server is rented only to a particular client. This is in contrast to virtual hosting whereby many clients share a web server. Normally for dedicated web hosting, it is required for clients who need more power for their applications.

Resting for the Month

There won’t be any major migration this month, we had done 3 months of massive migration and maintenance exercises which allows our datacenters to be at the peak of health and also our network to be at the best maintained status. All of us are extremely tired and will take this opportunity to have some rest before we go on yet another important but essential journey.
