System Wide Performance Boost


We all need a performance boost once in a while and we almost always end up turning our heads to the refrigerator full of energy drinks. We’ll, you can’t exactly feed an energy drink to a web server without, we’ll, breaking it.

So, instead we took the specs of all of our current servers and revamped them. even though our servers were already doing an amazing job as they were, the MK team wanted to take web performance to a whole new level.

Here’s what we ended up with after revamping these already monstrous machines:

For the not so techies,
Hard Drive Space: Now 3x more.
RAM Memory: Now 2x more.
Network Connection: Now 10x Faster.

And for the Techies, below are the specs of the average MK Server:
Hard Drive Space: 2 Terabytes
RAM Memory: at least 8 Gygabytes
Network Connection: 100MB Per Second both up and down.
