We are pleased to announce that today we have added an additional Secondary Mail Server. This server is in our US data center and has been added to provide additional redundancy in the case of any outages at our primary data center in Melbourne.
For customers who manage their own DNS entries, you can take advantage of the additional server by configuring your MX records as follows:
MX 0 mailcluster1.metawerx.net. MX 50 mailcluster3.metawerx.net. MX 80 mailcluster4.metawerx.net.
On selected VM's, we have upgraded again to the latest copies of the following today:

If you are still using Tomcat 5.5 or JDK1.5, now is a great time to try your application on Tomcat 6 and JDK1.6. We have found this to be the highest-performing, most stable release so far. These releases have been around since before March 2007, so they are no longer bleeding-edge.

We are pleased to announce that we are expanding rapidly this year again. More shared servers are being installed to cope with demand and we have modified our plans based on feedback and ever-changing customer requirements.

We now offer the upcoming Java SE 7 platform with Tomcat 6.0.
This is the first OpenJDK release of the Java platform is still in early-release stage so is not suitable for production use. However, if your application is still under development and you want access to the latest JDK features, consider getting started on this release and be one of the first in the world to deploy a Java 7 based application.
The performance is very good and Java 7 provides many new additions to the Java language and core classes.
We will continue to upgrade to each new early-access release until the official launch.
