Are they going to set up webcams so we can watch them install the server?

Three things that happen after a long down time:
1) people complain
2) people loose ships
3) people will be amazed that someone from Iceland can actually do what they say.

The client on SISI has some pretty major changes that allow it to have 32/64 clients. Its mentioned somewhere in the testing section. Expect a native 64 client on or slightly after, only makes sense since theyre shifting the server codebase to 64 as well.

I'm a computer idiot. And fairly proud of it. So please consider that in this question . . .
Is this set up something that is very cutting edge? If so, is IBM, or any other company(ies), following it closely in order to see how things go?
Just curious.

One of the initial blogs on the Yarrrrdware had made comment that the target was to break onto the top 100 list for the fastest computers on Earth.
Any projections on the sure computing power or how close this new system will be?

J'inn, yes the hardware we are installing is very cutting edge and IBM is *very* interested in how things turn out. The same with Texas Memory Systems, the company that provided us with the solid-state memory system.
Ominus, it is the Top 500 that we are shooting for. It would take a lot more equipment than what we are installing to make it to the Top 100 list.

I have killed millions of people, and still they attack me.
I butcher them in the millions and still they wont stop comeing.
Never has a pirate said "hey you have killed a million of us would a deal be out of the question?"
Never do they retreat or make tactical withdrawals.
How many patches and upgrades and how many years must pass before the pirates start showing an ounce of intelligence and self preservation?
Also I was reading the story Crielere
http://www.eve-online.com/races/crielere/
And I was wondering if an event or 4 could be made that a station is built somewhere step by step by Faction and player founding and by Faction and player logistical support ie players and Factions transport materieals to build the Station and ofcurse these convoys would be able to be attacked and require protection and so on and so forth.

Quick question... will the forums, etc. still be online while the upgrade takes place?
Looking forward to the new hardware!

After 24 hours of painstaking installation and hard work, the CCP tech guys finally reach the moment we all have been waiting for...
CCP Tech 1: *phew* its finally done. I've checked everything and everything checks out. Time to turn the thing on and see if it works.
CCP Techs: *much cheering*
CCP Tech 1: Here goes nothing! *throws rediculously huge elecrical switch*
.
.
.
.
*nothing happens*
CCP Tech 2: Umm, shouldn't it have turned on by now?
CCP Tech 1: Shut up Leeroy, obviously you screwed it up. Knowing you you put "tab a" into "slot b" again.
CCP Tech 2: But I did everything you told me...Oh here's the problem its...
CCP Tech 1: Just shut up! I'll check it again.
*24 hours passes*
CCP Tech 1: Argh! I've gone over my list three times already! I just don't understand it.
CCP Tech 2: But I've been trying to tell you...
CCP Tech 1: Just just up Mr. Jenkins, I'm so angry I could cry....
CCP Tech 2: *sigh*
*Leeroy walks over to the power cord and plugs the machine into the wall*
CCP Tech 2: C'mon boss, just try it one more time.
CCP Tech 1: Fine, I don't see what good it will do...
*throws rediculously large electrical switch again*
*as the whole continent of Icland dims under the strain, the machines whir to life*
CCP Tech 1: ITS ALIVE!! ITS ALIVE!!! I HAVE DONE IT!!! See Jenkins, all it takes is hard work and following my flawless instructions...
CCP Tech 2:

My little joke about mutant hamsters on steroids aside...
Will this new server cluster be expandable?
As more and more people join up with EVE can extra blades be added to counteract lag?
Needed, a serious geek to come and say yes or no in plain english.
I commend CCP for spending real-life money to try and fix the lag problem.

The devs should update the blog article as well to remind people to stock up on POS FUEL. Incase the downtime does extend to 48 hours.
Many people rely too much on Devs timeline. Would be a shame to see some dreads flying just after downtime killing offline pos

Yes you still can play EVE I bet the test server will be running. If not we better make sure someone knows.

Do the blades contain
1) 2 single core processors
2) 1 dual core processor
3) 2 dual core processors
I assume the first based on what I've read. If so, why haven't you used dual core processors? Is it because there is no need or because of diminishing returns because dual core processors are memory bandwidth constrained for this application?

J'inn: Hello I have a question.
Tech Support: It's a Microsoft issue.
J'inn: But . . .

Dakath, yes we will be able to expand the cluster by adding new Bladecenter chassis and blades to the existing hardware as needed.
Nakamo, #3 is correct. The new blades are dual-core, cual CPU Opterons. Oveur mentioned this in this Dev Blog from last month.

And what are *you* going to do when the servers come back up?
I'm going to Disneyland! (ie, Jita)
Just to check the lag.
Well, lets all meet in Jita on Wednesday....either just for a burn-in or the first blobb-caused-reboot :D

For the love of God, I hope we don't see the usual whine fest if things aren't running smoothly straight away.
Can't even play the game from where I am, till may at least and I'm excitedly watching the forums to see how it all goes. Reading whinges won't be nice. Can't wait to read how "smooth it all" is instead.
Best of luck guys. See you flip side...

Do you have any specific plans for the old hardware? I can't imagine it'd be wasted on a forum upgrade...
My bet is a new SISI based on the old servers perhaps
I suppose they'll use it for the first new servers in China ...
