Today, we have introduced a new high-end server into our European service cluster called Titan. It is named after Saturn's largest moon, which boasts a thick atmosphere and a landscape of liquid hydrocarbon lakes, making it quite unique in our solar system. This server is based on AMD's EPYC Milan-X platform and is currently the most powerful server in our cluster.
By adding this new server, we're increasing our European capacity by 20%. The main reason we've done this is that we wanted more buffer to withstand momentary increases in API usage, which sometimes happens when our customers come under targeted attacks.
This new server also further increases our provider diversity as it's not hosted by the same datacenter partners we've been using for any of our prior nodes and it's deployed in a different country to our other nodes as well (we are now using three different countries for our European nodes).
As we mentioned in the introduction of our Rigel node two months ago, we will also be refreshing a server later this month, that server will be our North American node called Lunar. We intend to keep the node name the same but it will be transitioning to a different provider and more capable hardware based on AMD's EPYC Genoa platform which Rigel already uses and we've been very happy with.
So that's the update for today, thanks for reading and have a wonderful weekend.
