Impending Service Work this Weekend
Posted by: Antony Williams in UncategorizedCopyright©2008 Antony Williams
We will doing a lot of service work in the next 24-36 hours and there are likely to be service disruptions to ChemSpider. During this period there may be significant periods of downtime as we upgrade a number of services in the background. Our apologies for the disruption but the best time to do this is the weekend.

I have noticed a few messages like these… is ChemSpider really so short on hardware to support using a development system and a production system? What about redundancy? Would a franchising model work, where people put of CS mirrors with all the ads and sorts?

Egon, You should NOT have seen any service disruptions over the weekend. The comments above were that there “may” be periods of downtime. We are not hardware “rich” per se but definitely do sufficient testing offline on our staging system. We are presently in discussions to establish potential mirror sites of ChemSpider. Watch this space.
