New Server? New Server!
May have just snagged a deal on a 12-core server with 128GB RAM and 8x1TB SSDs in hardware RAID. Older CPUs (E5-2620) but new SSDs. And 200TB monthly bandwidth included.

Update: Yes, confirmed, deploying now. When I'll have time to migrate everything I don't know, but that will kick some pretty serious ass. And they give a 75% discount on these older servers for the first month so you can plan your migration without doubling your server bill.
My original plan for deploying the new system involved a server with 1TB of SSD for the databases and another with 6TB of RAID-1 disk for file storage, but this means everything can go on one server with pure SSD storage. (There's yet another server for all the backups.) Costs a little more, but zero worries about database growth or memory footprint.
Update Too: I looked up the specs of the E5620 CPU to check that it was what I expected, and the benchmarks were about half of what I thought they'd be. So I was wondering if I'd bought the wrong server, then looked again, and entered E5-2620 properly and was much happier.
Update Free: I can't read. Server has regular disks, not SSDs. Well, good thing it's 75% off the first month. I thought it was an awfully good deal...
