User blog comment:Wade Warren/How we deliver pages to you/@comment-168424-20120228000611

Great stuff. Wade, you should be commended for trying to take a highly technical set of issues and explaining them in a way that many of us, who are not as deep into it, get a greater understanding of what is happening behind the scenes.

I'm impressed that Wikia is investing in SSDs for such a vast quantity of content. Wikia will make a great testbed for the longevity and reliability of SSDs.

Are sites like http://ganglia.wikia.net/iowa/ still a valid source of backend status info? Does Wikia have other pages for seeing status at other datacenters or is this just a sample status page?

Feel free to ignore my questions. I ask them out of habit.
