11/18/2008 Server Upgrades This Week Luke Kolin
Due to the generosity of the supporters behind Global Virtual Airlines Group, the legal entity behind Delta Virtual Airlines and Air France Virtual, we have had our own dedicated server in a commercial-grade data center since November of 2005. GVA has had two primary objectives - providing first-rate technical infrastructure and data services at a price that shows respect for the generosity of our supporters.

Over the past few months, we have repeatedly examined hosting packages available on the market. We are pleased to announce that we have negotiated a new contract with our existing hosting provider (1&1) for a new server. This upgrades us from a single Pentium-4 to a dual-core Opteron server, with redundant drives and an ever higher bandwidth cap per month. In the past few weeks, I've been working to set up the server, and use it as a test bed for performance enhancements such as custom mySQL builds and failure testing that cannot be reasonably done on a production machine.

I am pleased to announce that our testing cycle is almost complete. Delta Virtual has an automated backup system which we have used to populate the databases on the new server, and each restore from backups has proceeded smoothly. I expect that some time this week, (Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday) I will be able to switch the servers over permanently.

When this occurs, all deltava.org services will be shut down, so that a complete database snapshot may be taken. This process takes approximately half an hour to perform, and then another half hour will be spent copying over the data to the new server. (We have approximately 10GB of compressed data to move.) Once this is complete, we will restore the database from the snapshot, and do a brief data validation. DNS cutover will then occur.

Depending on DNS propagation, I expect downtime to be in the order of four hours, probably less. The most likely date will be Wednesday, November 19th, at approximately 10AM Eastern Standard Time. My expectation is that by just after lunchtime, we will be operating on a server with approximately double the processing power of the old one, with redundant drives in case of hardware failure. The best part of this deal is that our new contract has a monthly charge of 10% LESS than the old one, allowing us to save the excess money or use it for new services we are rolling out like a FlightAware commercial data license.

Please stay tuned for further news on the server migration.
11/04/2008 Northwest Schedule Available Luke Kolin
In recognition of Delta Air Lines' recent merger with Northwest Airlines, I am pleased to announce that the entire Northwest Airlines flight schedule has been loaded into our schedule database. All NW flights are now available for operation by Delta Virtual Airlines pilots.
