New hardware is operational!

Photo.net is back up and running on the new hardware. This is a very good thing:

-New hardware
-Faster processor speed and much more memory in the database server
-More accessible (and physically cooler) server location

Next steps are to make sure everything is running as it should (please report any bugs you find) and to optimize the new hardware as much as possible. Then we will collect all the old hardware and see what is still useful out of it to add into the newer stuff in terms of additional servers and whatnot (getting a little bit over my head technically here). After we've done all that, we can take a look at what performance improvement we have seen and decide if additional new hardware needs to be purchased.

Onward and upward!
