Today we have introduced a new secondary DNS Server (nameserver).  The new nameserver (ns2.thex.uk.provider-one.net) is the second deployment of 4 new primary and secondary name servers to accommodate the growth in the number of domain names we maintain on behalf of our customers.  The remaining name servers will be deployed gradually over the next two/three weeks.

We have now completed the upgrade to our central backup server.  The upgrade included the addition of a battery backup for the array controller card and addition to 1TB hard disk drive to the array.   This upgrade will provide additional backup capacity and will enable faster restoration of data rather than retrieval from tape.
