New Cluster Build – Notice of Delay – 1/27/16

The build of our new cluster has been unexpectedly delayed due to unforeseen circumstances.  The new estimated date for the new cluster to go online is tentatively by sometime in February, provided the current situation is resolved quickly.  We apologize for the inconvenience this causes and thank you for your continued patience and support.  Following is an explanation of the current delay.

What has caused the delay

Our consultant discovered an unforeseen incompatibility between two critical software components of the cluster.  This has caused us to have to install a new version of some of these components (including the kernel).
