Last week, I dealt with an outage of my “business-grade” Internet connection for the last time. The solution? A managed server, courtesy of SoftLayer.
For a pretty darn good price, I get full access to a dual quad-core server with 4 gigs of RAM and 500GB of usable disk space in a RAID10 array. Add in an awesome web-based control panel, an excellent sales staff (thanks, Michael!), and provisioning in less than two hours, it seems like the right decision so far.
It’ll take some time before I migrate completely to this new rig, but until then, I can enjoy the following scenery.

So Brian, will you use this just to host apps? Or are you actually going to be doing dev on it? (vs.net, etc)
8 core bliss.
Sweet. With CSFBL soon to be running on the server, the performance tab looking like that will definitely be a thing of the past.
That’s hot! Good Luck
Sweet! Nice work Brian
