A more accurate description of what's happening with the Asset servers. This is counterpoint to the concerns raised at www.flickr.com/photos/collaredkitty/2347621469/ which, to be fair, if they were valid concerns, we should all be steamed. So no harm, no foul. People should know how the system works! With so much breaking, a better understanding will ease alot of our fears. A really great inworld diagram of how the ISILON cluster that holds hundreds of TBs of our assets actually works has been build up on Jopsy Pendragon's platform/lab - it's worth a peek.

	wired_faerie says: Oh, Kat. This is fair use, look it up. I'd be furious if someone took my work and used it directly- but this is a parody, it's noncommercial, and includes attribution to your CC-licensed image. And I did post on your thread, and you deleted it! I included the link in the post, that's how you found this. :P If you'd like me to repost it, and you'll dare to leave the comment up there, we can keep the conversation there. Posted 4 months ago.

	wired_faerie says: No, I'm refuting your absolutely wrong assumption and interpretation of a system that you don't understand, and the FUD that you're spreading as a result of this misinterpretation. Quote: "Where did the asset servers go? Nowhere. LL did this as a cost cutting measure. LL will also likely resell these boxes as simulators at the full cost of a class 6 sim, and it won't cost them anything. This is pure profiteering at the expense of our game experience." As I said, this is outright wrong, in several ways. Your second diagram has the asset servers gone and you're implying that assets will be stored on the simulator servers alone - which is pretty ludicrous, considering that sims only have the objects that are rezzed in them. Where would our Inventories go? Onto what sim? How would it be available if a particular sim were to go down? Also, There is no class 6. These words don't mean what you think they do.

	wired_faerie says: and as far as keeping the conversation in public, that's hard to do since you both deleted my comment and then BLOCKED me from commenting on your pictures ever again. www.flickr.com/photos/wired_faerie/2352053255 / Posted 4 months ago. ( permalink )
	wired_faerie says: Here's a good place to go check out an informative inworld model of how the server clusters actually work: slurl.com/secondlife/Teal/111/78/516/?title=J opsy%20Pendr... Note, the Inventory databases are different from the actual Asset Servers. Posted 4 months ago. ( permalink )
	wired_faerie says: It is quite disappointing that blocking another causes their prior posts to get deleted on your stream. This is what happened to Katarina - she didn't delete my messages explicitly, she just blocked me. Apologies from me for accusing her of censoring posts - it was clearly not her choice. When I blocked her here, her posts were likewise removed. :( The conversation would have been better, and more transparent, if the prior notes would have remained. Posted 2 months ago. ( permalink )
