Yahoo! Messenger Maintenance Update Complete!
In a message posted yesterday on the official Yahoo! Messenger Blog it appears that the maintenance update for the messenger servers is now complete. From what I gathered from the original post is that they were just switching servers out of an old data center and into the new data center.
I dont think that the new data center is really all that new at all. I remember these *mud* servers being around for a while. Well at least back when we were hunting for new Yahoo! servers, I remember coming across them. Maybe they have been upgraded, which would be nice. Hopefully this update will cut back on connection problems and server resets.
Posted below is the original message from Melissa Daniels who apparently is the Yahoo! Messenger Community Manager. I haven’t seen a post from her before. Maybe that means we will be seeing more posts from the Yahoo! Messenger team.
We’re happy to announce our maintenance update is complete! During this time, some of you may have experienced trouble logging into your Y! Messenger account or noticed a little bit of lag time when messaging– hopefully it wasn’t too bad.
For those of you curious about what was done during this maintenance, we’ve moved our older Messenger version users out of our old data center (called DCN) and into our new data center (called MUD).
Version 8.1 and 9.0 users were moved to new data centers seamlessly a few weeks back. By doing this, we’re preventing future maintenance outages and have already implemented these new systems into the 8.1 and 9.0 versions of Yahoo! Messenger. These changes make it much easier for us to move users around data centers. If you’re still using a Yahoo! Messenger version 8.0 or earlier, you may want to update to one of the latest versions– you’ll get a higher level of service from Yahoo! Messenger.
