Los Angeles now serving the website and Long Tail Storage
As described earlier by Dirk-Willem, we shipped a batch of machines to Los Angeles to setup a long tail storage cluster and a version of our website. After having the servers had spend a good week of quality time with the U.S. Customs, we managed to get them delivered to our data center and proceeded to set them up. When you now use the latest beta client and you are in the United States, it is very likely that you will be peering with one of these new servers. This will provide faster access to content to those who are not in Europe.

Next up will be two more data centers around the world that will provide faster access to other parts of the world. As this one of our first roll outs it had its bumps, but overall it went pretty smoothly. I would like to thank the operations team and honory team member Justin Erenkrantz for making this all reality.
