Thanks for hanging in there while the system was down.

It was weird wasn't it?! image

What happened was that we did a major transplant, or something like that. Our IT department had to disconnect, move and reconnect all our servers, communications equipment, a god knows what else to a co-location facility. It our first big step towards operating all our systems in "The Cloud". With offices all around the world this has become a necessity for PCGS.

We are back without breaking anything (that we know of). If you spot something PM me or post it here.

OK kids, have fun! image

    Good job. Anytime you are dealing with an IT upgrade, lots of bad things can happen.

    I am always nervous with IT projects, probably because I don't really understand the mechanics of what is happening. Always a relief to be back up and running. Sounds like your IT folks did a good job. Kudos to them.

    image And if anyone knows about bad things happening with an IT upgrade, Coinosaurus knows!

    I still don't understand "The Cloud". But I guess that's OK.

    During the outage, did anyone call 911, have an intervention, check themselves into rehab?

    Glad that this site is up and running once again...now I can go back to my normally scheduled program.

    It sounds like a migration, nothing mentioned about upgrades.

    Usually the last thing you want to hear from the IT group is that they've improved something.

    Tried the few jokes suggested on my wife - she either didn't get them or appreciate them. image

    Cloud computing is the notion that most everything you need is stored on Internet servers. Instead of having local copies of applications and data, executed on your computer, they're all accessible over the Internet and available no matter what device you're using, a tablet, smart phone, or computer.

    It's a little fuzzy but look at it this way. If you need to edit a file...maybe a family tree or a presentation document...you used to need the application (Excel, Power Point, etc.), and the data (the text or the spreadsheet info) on your device. Only you managed it.

    If it's all on a shared resource (the cloud) you don't need the application and data locally. You can get to it with any device. And, depending on how it is secured, everyone has access to it.

    Or something like that.

    I was having serious withdrawal symptoms. You really don't know what you've got till it's gone.

    Thanks again for this forum.
    Let's try not to get upset.
